Sealed Knot — Fernhurst Furnace
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around mid September 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: thesealedknot.org.uk.
About
A free heritage day at a former Wealden ironworks that once cast cannon, combining guided furnace-site tours and falconry with Sealed Knot living-history and drill demonstrations, 11am-5pm both days.
Programme
The programme for the next edition hasn’t been published yet. It goes up here as soon as the organiser releases it.
Getting there
Fernhurst Furnace is reached via a public footpath (Sussex Footpath 1264), about a mile west of Fernhurst village, crossing a dam at the head of Furnace Pond — there is no direct vehicle access to the site itself. Free on-site/roadside parking; free admission, with voluntary donations welcomed. No rail station serves the site directly.
