Tuck Pointing Demonstration

Stonemason: Caleb Tonkin

Step back in time and discover the quirky charm of Traditional Tuck Pointing! This centuries-old craft transforms ordinary brickwork into dazzling façades with clever illusions of razor-thin joints. Watch skilled hands wield straight edges, tuck irons, and Frenchman’s knives to create the crisp white “ribbons” that once made 18th-century homes look fancy and fine. It’s history, artistry, and a little masonry magic rolled into one unmissable demonstration – don’t miss the fun!

Open: Saturday 8 & Sunday 9 November 2025, 10am-4pm
