Victorian Kitchens

 

An unforgettable, immersive experience in our beautiful original Victorian kitchens.

Pupils will meet our Victorian servant and discover what homes were like in the past. They will have the opportunity to dress in aprons, mob caps and waistcoats, and to role-play as maids and footmen, working alongside our Victorian servant.

Duties will include pounding sugar and spices with a pestle and mortar, scrubbing the floors, beating carpets, and pretending to do the ironing.

Through their work as Victorian servants, pupils will discover the differences and similarities between homes then and now, and what it was like to work for the illustrious Rothschild family.
