Join us for a Crofthouse Family Fun Day!
Step back in time with a range of family-friendly activities inspired by traditional crofting life.
Have a go at butter making, create a straw duckie using Shetland oat straw, enjoy crofting toys and colouring, and follow a nature trail around the crofthouse and garden.
Take a tour of the 19th-century crofthouse and learn how families lived, worked, and made a living from the land. Peek inside the box beds, discover traditional furnishings, and hear stories about life in a typical Shetland croft.
Bring a picnic and spend some time exploring the crofthouse garden and surrounding area.
