It is believed that the original Cosmeston Village was abandoned in the 1340’s but in 2021 you can meet many of its last remaining villagers and learn the story of its demise.

Ivar the village fool will introduce you to the Butcher, the Baker and even the Coffin Maker who will guide you through an illuminated trail of the traditional buildings and fields around the village.
