Meet the Victorians in this recreated Victorian town.
Costumed staff give a warm welcome and a fascinating insight into how life was lived in Victorian times. Exchange your money in the Bank, admire the goods in the Grocers, Bakery and Sweetshop. Find out about curious remedies in the Chemist, and see the printer and candle maker in action.
Discover what life was like for a Victorian housewife in the three cottages and in the summer enjoy a journey on a horse and cart and a ride on the fairground. On Wednesday mornings you can see red hot molten iron being poured in The Foundry.
During the Summer Season the town comes alive with even more characters that portray various aspects of Victorian life and during most school holidays there are a range of hands-on activities to try.
