On Saturday 18 October Will Lord of Beyond 2000bc will be demonstrating the skill of making beautiful flint arrow heads, fantastic flint knives and spearheads, bows made of wood and tanned skins.
Will has been involved in flint-knapping and prehistoric technology since 1975 when his parents, Val and John Lord, became custodians at the Grimes Graves Neolithic flint mines in Norfolk. He has been teaching the skills of our ancestors and learning new techniques since 1990.
