Each year the Darling Museum celebrates International Museum Day by holding an Open Day and this year is no exception: local crafters demonstrations, children's craft corner, guided historical tour, car boot sale, tea garden.
Traditional Crafters at Work
Local crafters will showcase their talents in a variety of old-fashioned crafts such as quilting, spinning and weaving, butter making, flower pressing, beadwork, and much more.
Visitors can watch these crafters as they demonstrate their work and perhaps purchase a San or Xhosa beaded necklace, homemade butter, a mohair spun & woven scarf, etc.
