"Everyone has been working really hard behind the scenes, and it’s been a tough 6 months.
"We are a charity and have survived this period with grant support, but we are facing an uncertain future and need your help. There are a number of ways that you can help us – when you visit, you could make a donation if you are able.
"If you live locally and have some spare time, we’d love to welcome new volunteers to help bring our stories to life. And don’t forget you can also support us ‘virtually’ by following us on social media. We look forward to seeing you soon’."
Rope makers are still doing demonstrations throughout the week. The gift shop is also open.
