This event, originally scheduled for the end of April, has been postponed. It is hoped that the event will take place 22-24 April 2021, so reserve this slot in your diaries. Our thanks go to Ashley Pettit for setting up the event, sponsored by Culture Vannin, and managing all the arrangements for the change of date.

Day 1: Afternoon/evening lecture programme to examine the challenges facing traditional buildings and the options available to adapt them for a harsher climate.
Day 2: Talks and demonstrations on clay mortars.
Day 3: Guided walk to look at abandoned buildings in the landscape and consider possible conservation.
