HISTORY enthusiasts will be able to see first hand this spring the restoration techniques being used on a historic 14th Century pub near Evesham which was destroyed by fire.
Painstaking restoration work has been carried out on the Fleece Inn at Bretforton since November 2004.
The pub burned down last February.
On Saturday, local thatcher Amanda Davis will be bringing her craft to life and visitors will also be able to talk to archaeologist, Shona Robson-Glyde on the history of the Fleece.
Children will be able to have a go at a thatching quiz sheet, and corn dollies.
On Saturday, March 19 the role of archaeology in guiding the restoration work will be highlighted and there will be hard hat tours inside the building throughout the afternoon.
On Friday 15 and Saturday April 16, visitors will be able to learn about Wattle and Daub - a traditional method of constructing walls using stakes bound together with willow and covered in mud or plaster.
National Trust property manager Michael Smith said it is hoped the events will give local people a chance to learn about the traditional building methods that are being used to restore the Fleece Inn.
