This February half-term holiday, enjoy fun family mornings to celebrate the opening of The Commandery’s brand-new exhibition Wyldgate Lane – A Walk Through Victorian Worcester. ✨
Pick up your rag rugging tools and learn how to make a rug, Victorian style!
Then, create your very own thaumatrope, a toy popular in the 1800s that magically blends together two drawings.
And (if you’re brave enough), play “what’s that whiff” to see if you can guess what all the pongy Victorian smells are! 👃
Every session includes a story, drink, and a biscuit. Aimed at children from pre-school ages to 11 years.
Be sure to check out the exhibition which takes you through a Victorian backstreet where you can have a go at sweeping a chimney, pop into the pub, sniff a stinky privy, and discover the darker side of this era in Worcester. [Exhibition entry is included in general admission.]
