Suffolk Lacemakers Demonstration

See the Suffolk Lacemakers demonstrate their heritage craft within the beautiful setting of Lavenham Guildhall.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Bobbin Lacemaking was a serious cottage industry between the sixteenth and the nineteenth century. After the industrial revolution stifled it's progress, it was since revived as a leisure activity- one which the Suffolk Lacemakers will be demonstrating.

Head down to the Guildhall to witness the revival of this historic craft- where work will show how lace has evolved from traditional 'white' handmade lace to more modern patterns.
