Junior Historians Club - Grim Graveyards

Calling all Junior Historians!
This summer you can enter the gates of the ancient Friar's Bush Graveyard and learn all about its fascinating history from a real historian. If your child likes Horrible Histories, they will love this!
For 90 minutes, children will enter this graveyard and learn lots about the history of Belfast. After touring through the 19th century, children will find out all about deadly diseases of the past before receiving their Junior Historians pack. This bespoke workbook includes activities for within the graveyard as well as some bonus worksheets to take home. After each activity, historian Dr Robyn will lead the kids through what they have learned & encourage their history detecting skills.
Grown-ups will stay with their Junior Historians in the graveyard and will probably learn something too!
Situated beside the Ulster Museum and Botanic Gardens, the Junior Historians Club at Friar's Bush can easily fit in to a whole day out in south Belfast.

"We had such a great day at the graveyard, the kids were all engaged throughout and thoroughly enjoyed it all!" - Anonymous feedback
