About

For hundreds of years the wool markets helped medieval Pontefract thrive. They brought money and trade into the town centre.


Find out why wool is so wonderful and discover how medieval workers turned wool fleece into fabric to use and wear in this exciting workshop at Pontefract Museum.


Get hands-on with wool samples and tools. Weave your own mini woollen artwork to take home!
