A Victorian Child’s Christmas

 

Enjoy the Christmas festivities as a Victorian child!

This workshop is a wonderful seasonal treat, designed to be both informative and fun.

Children will explore real objects from our collections such as a deactivated incendiary bomb and schrapnel from the local area. They will also have the chance to dress up in replica Second World War costume, dig up potatoes, put out a ‘bomb’, take part in a gas mask drill and take cover in our Anderson Shelter.
