What an unexpected treat... My family and I almost wandered past this unassuming centre on Sandwich Quay. I'm so pleased we were ushered inside by one of the very well versed and enthusiastic members of staff. Bigger museums / learning centres could learn a lot from a visit here. For a start every member of the team managed to hold our attention with their vivid, accurate and most importantly humorous descriptions of medieval life and crafts. The blacksmith was working when we went and apart from learning how everything was made from woodcrafts to enamelling... (we missed the mead making in the morning) it was clear that each member of the team was a highly skilled craftsman in their own right. We came in for a few minutes and stayed for half an hour. What's more it is free to visit but afterwards you'll want to donate.

Miniscule working museum with an active display of medieval metal forgery and woodwork. You can take anywhere between five minutes and half an hour to examine the full display of crafted medieval produce. Sandwich Medieval Trust voluntarily operate this niche museum on the Sandwich Quayside. It is free to enter but donations are welcomed and frankly deserved. It's a seasonal project and I don't believe its open every day, but if you're passing and it is open, then would recommend you it checking out. The staff are friendly and extremely well rehearsed on the workings of medieval crafting. They have an ongoing project to construct a boat using only medieval techniques. It's a fantastic idea and I wish them well on their journey.
