Victorian times at Clayton Hall

Date: 7th Feb 2020 @ 5:51pm

The children really enjoyed visiting Clayton Hall this week. They all got an opportunity to dress up in victorian clothing and experience what it would have been like to live in victorian times.

Some of the children got busy in the kitchen and used an antique food chopper to cut carrots and herbs to make vegetable soup.

It was a team effort !

Some of the children had tougher jobs to do than others and had to use all their energy to wash, dry and iron clothes in the wash house. 

After all the hard work the children relaxed . They played card games, chess and used the writing table. 

Some of the children thought there was a pigeon in the room because they saw a feather in the table. They found out that people used quills to write in victorian times.

The children didn't want to leave and  asked to go back. The staff at Clayton Hall said "We would love to see all the families visiting the hall ."

The next open day is on Saturday 15th february if you would like to visit
