Home Educators Workshop: A Very Victorian Christmas at The Wilson

Tickets: £7 per child

Why do we decorate Christmas trees? When were the first Christmas cards made? And what kind of presents did people give before the days of screens and batteries?

Come along and discover the answers as we step back in time for A Very Victorian Christmas!

Explore how the Victorians transformed Christmas, from Christmas trees, cards and crackers to stockings, decorations and festive treats – and discover how many of the traditions they made popular are still part of our celebrations today.

It’s also time to get creative! We’ll make our own traditional Christmas decorations and festive treats, inspired by the crafts and customs of the Victorian period. There’ll be plenty to make, decorate and take home – all with a Victorian twist.

So come along, get creative and kickstart your festive season with a Christmas celebration inspired by the Victorians!

Accompanying adults do not require a ticket but please note this is not a drop off session and adults are encouraged to join in activities with their children.
