This weekend, from Friday 24th (today) to Sunday 26th October, Gozo’s rich cultural heritage is being unlocked for everyone to enjoy, completely free of charge!
For three days only, visitors will have the chance to explore some of the island’s most beloved museums and historical sites, take a look behind the scenes, and meet the people dedicated to preserving Gozo’s story. It’s the perfect excuse for a heritage-filled getaway on the sister island!
Adding an extra touch of tradition to the occasion, a local weaver will be at the Gran Castello Historic House, demonstrating beautiful traditional crafts such as weaving and macramé. Visitors will even get to create their own piece to take home as a special keepsake. The demonstrations will be taking place at 13:00 – 16:00 on Friday, and at 12:00 – 16:00 on Saturday and Sunday.
