Education Activities

We love having help with the Village washing – 1850s style!  Children learn about washing in Victorian times and get to use scrubbing boards,  dollies and blue bags to wash and rinse their laundry. 

They have to fetch the water from the well using our coopered buckets and a yoke!

Clothes are hung on the line to dry using wonderful old wooden pegs and we demonstrate the different irons in use.

Please note this is a seasonal & weather-dependent activity. Enquire with Education Manager regarding availability.
