Shepherds' huts open day

After last year’s Shepherd’s Hut Open Days as part of the national heritage open day scheme, the fine folk at Historic Shepherdshuts are throwing open their doors again in Barford (where they are based). Local villagers have formed a history group and four open buildings and 16 sites will be taking part in this year’s Heritage Festival event which runs September 13-15. A special Huttist’s day will be held on September 15, with artisans, restorers, hut insurers, a Huttist Pop-up Big Breakfast and shepherd hut devotees, all gathering together.
