East Lothian Traditional Skills Festival

Traditional skills training sessions, demonstrations, building repair workshops, traditional materials library, advice, history walks and talks.
Come and see the process of repairing a traditional building and find out how to look after your own property. Try your hand at dressing stone, letter carving, signwriting, limewashing, lime pointing, or repairing a sash and case window.
We will be running sessions you can sign up to or you can just drop in to watch our craftspeople as they work. Experts will be on hand to offer specialist building advice and you can visit our traditional building materials library. You can also join one of our walks to discover something new about Tranent as well as some interesting community projects.
There will be workshops and activities for all ages.
