What’s Involved
Let the museum come into your school. One of our skilled costumed facilitators will deliver our Victorian Home and Hearth workshop within your classrooms.
Timings: The sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes but we can arrange flexible timings to fit around your school day; perfect if you are a multiple entry school or would like the workshop delivering to more than one class.
Costs: £192 for half a day (up to 3 hours)/ £384 for a full day (up to 6 hours)
This workshop focuses on what life was like in a typical working class Victorian home. Pupils will meet a member of a Victorian household and discover what home life was like for a poor family living in a typical two up, two down house. Children will be able to handle some Victorian objects and help with the wash day chores in this practical hands-on workshop.
Learning Opportunities
- Pupils will be able to identify the key differences between our homes today and during Victorian times.
- Pupils will understand the different roles that members of the household had.
