Home Educators Workshop - Meet the Victorians at St John's House

An informal, drop in, morning to discover more about the lives of Victorian people.

• Our school Marm will in the classroom to show you around and explain what a Victorian child’s school day was like.
• Have a go at some of the activities Victorian school children used to do, such as writing with dip and ink pens and observational drawing and painting.
• The cook will be in the kitchen making butter for Queen Victoria’s jubilee party at Warwick Castle. Come and have a go yourself.
• Mrs Mayes, the Laundry Maid, will be waiting upstairs to tell you about the difference between her two up two down home and a four-storey town house.
• Play outside with some traditional toys and games from the Victorian Playground.
