They will learn how a soup kitchen worked, experience life as a working Victorian child in a weaving family and find out how this work changed as the industry moved from the home into the factories.

FAQ's

Home Educator workshops have a set capacity and often sell out very quickly. Although tickets may be available on the day, it is best to buy in advance.

Although accompanying adults and under 5’s do not need to pay- everyone must book a place in advance.

We offer a Home Educator workshop around a different theme every few months, visit the What’s On page to see what is coming up next.

Workshops normally last around two hours, but you are free to explore the building after your workshop, provided it is inside of open hours.

Please email education@noordinaryhospitality.com if you cannot see a workshop that fits your needs, a member of our team will contact you to see if we can accommodate your requirements.
