About

The Stone Age comes to life in Mother Grundy's Parlour this weekend!

Take a closer look at life in the Stone Age as we welcome Dr. James Dilly, Emma Jones and Sally Pointer to the crags. Throughout the weekend they'll be living life the stone age way in Mother Grundy's Parlour, demonstrating how early humans and Neanderthals would have lived thousands of years ago. Dressed in authentic stone age costume, they'll have examples of the tools Stone Age people would have used every day to live and eat.

The Living History Demonstrations are free to watch, and the team will be on hand to answer any questions. Stay as long as you like, and build your knowledge of Stone Age life. 

Perfect for children and adults alike, everyone is welcome. Please note Mother Grundy's Parlour is accessed via a number of steps.
