There will be guided tours and displays on the restoration of the historic building – Britain’s best-preserved workhouse from the Victorian New Poor Law. Children can try on workhouse costumes, join in craft activities with Arts Connection, or bake their own pizza in a wood-fired cob oven.

The Food Fair will showcase the best of food and drink from Mid Wales and the border, with a range of street food to enjoy and artisan products to sample. All this takes place in the beautiful setting of the Cain Valley, by the A490 on the way to Lake Vyrnwy. The day runs from 10:00 to 16:00 both days.  For this heritage open day, promoted by Cadw, entry and parking are free, but the Workhouse welcomes donations towards its ongoing restoration.
