We will bring the past to life for children and recreate the atmosphere of Victorian Salford.
The group will will enjoy a full hour of exclusive access to our beautifully recreated Victorian Street. Children will meet one of the local residents of Lark Hill Place, and help them with their chores, such as washing clothes and going shopping, while they shares stories about their neighbours and life in Lark Hill Place.
In the second hour, children will explore the Victorian Gallery, play with Victorian toys, and enjoy a story time session that brings the past to life. This is a unique opportunity to experience history through storytelling, play, and interaction – perfectly tailored for young learners. Includes washday activity on the street and a visit to the corner shop.
