Bronze Age for Kids

Join Event Guide Ian who will show what life in Bronze Age Ireland would have looked and felt like through the eyes of a typical bronze age family. A very different life in a very different time, approximately 2,500 to 3,000 years ago!

Ian will demonstrate first hand how an  incredible new invention called a “furnace”  developed by humans during the bronze age works. You will discover  how Bronze Age man used the furnace to make a new metal called bronze,  smelting both copper and tin to make this new alloy a much stronger material and therefore better for making farming tools and weapons.
