Eldfest (evening / night Saturday-Sunday): Welcome to a sparkling and flaming eldfest with spectacle, torchlight procession and fire show in the prehistoric village. More information on times and prices will come on the museum's website.

Experience an old-fashioned harvest feast and help to preserve Vitlycke Meadow! We work together and show how a scythe should be used for best results.

A meadow can accommodate 40-50 species of flowers and grass per square meter. Today, only small bits of all the fields remain that once were important because they gave winter fodder for the animals.

How does an excavation work? How do archaeologists find their treasures? And what is experimental archaeology? This and much more will be experienced by young and old on the day of archaeology in the open-air museum. Also the special exhibition can be visited from this day!

What do archaeologists actually do? In four archaeological museums in the region you will get an answer. The Federseemuseum, the two Heuneburg museums in Herbertingen-Hundersingen and the Bachritterburg in Kanzach give an insight into their work on 15,000 years of history in Upper Swabia, from the excavation to the archaeological reconstruction.

May Day has heralded the start of summer for many hundreds of years in Wales. It’s time for the Green Man to wake up from his winter sleep as the buds burst and life returns to the woods and fields. The day is marked with merriment, music and what must surely be the most famous of all the folk dances, the raising of the maypole.

Craft and making is at the heart of St Fagans and its collections. Our new galleries are filled with handmade objects - some over 200,000 years old. From the humblest bowl to the finest textiles – the urge to shape, make, mend and decorate and has always been with us.

Join us as we celebrate craft and creativity across the Museum this weekend.
