Head to Hollytrees Museum on the 19th of February from 10:30 AM to 12 PM for a wonderful experience where you can meet a costumed member of staff and explore real objects used by Georgian servants.
Try washing the old-fashioned way with a dolly peg, dress up as a servant, and discover what life was like 300 years ago! Suitable for ages 4+.
For useful information, such as how to find us and what facilities Hollytrees Museum has, we recommend reading our Access information.
This event is included as part of Hollytrees admission. No booking needed – just drop in and join the fun!
