Discover Gawthorpe Hall's basement kitchen and meet the housekeeper.
She can tell you what sort of food the family might have eaten, how it would have been prepared and what was cooked when King George V came to visit.
Discover the Victorian's love of time-saving kitchen gadgets, smell the spices and herbs that scent the air and have a go at crushing some in the pestle and mortar.
And can take away a Victorian recipe to try at home!
This event is in the Victorian kitchen in the basement, down 1 flight of stairs inside and flat access from outside.
This event is included in the cost of admission to the Hall - £7 adults, children FREE
