What to bring:
It’s always wise to be sun safe at the Montville Timber Trail, although almost all the exhibits are indoors, you may want to wander the village for other things to see and do. We advise bringing a hat, water bottle and sunscreen. It would also be a good idea to bring an umbrella, just in case.
If you book a workshop, you may be required to bring certain items and wear protective shoes and clothing. Please check each workshop for specific details when you book.

Many vendors will have the option to accept cash or card, although some may prefer cash.
