Step into a world where ancient crafts are not just remembered, they live again. At the Lost Trades section of CelticFest, master artisans showcase traditional skills such as spinning and weaving, leatherwork, horn-making, metalwork and woodwork.

​

Expect to be captivated by the rhythmic hum of looms, the graceful movement of spindles turning raw fibers into yarn, and the tactile artistry of hand-stitched leather and finely carved wood.

​

You’ll meet craftspeople who bring centuries-old Celtic techniques into the present, sharing the significance of their materials, tools, and methods in live demonstrations. These aren’t just artifacts of the past; they are skills still practised, passed down, and evolving.

​

Join us at CelticFest to witness these trades in action and experience the beauty of heritage craftsmanship.
