Rainy Day Activities at Flambards
Travel back in time and take a stroll through the Flambards Victorian Village and discover over 50 authentic scenes of everyday life, packed with thousands of genuine artefacts. Walk through the cobbled streets and bustling alleyways; explore a Victorian home, peek into the downstairs hotel kitchen, visit the Pheasant pub, a classroom and the Flambards fire station. Discover the shops from the bakers with yesterday’s bread, to butchers and greengrocer to the milliners, cobblers, sweet shop, haberdashery and the apothecary. With over 50 life-size scenes and shops there’s so much of Victorian life to discover.
Families will love completing the Who Dunnit Quiz Trail along the way!
Explore the life-size street and experience life on the Home Front in Britain in the Blitz Exhibition. Be transported back to the 1940s by the deafening sound of air raid sirens and literally feel the floor shake as another bomb hits the target. Peep into an authentic air raid shelter and other scenes from wartime Britain.
Discover the story of William White's Chemist Shop time capsule. Forgotten since 1909, the shop was untouched for more than 100 years before being transported lock, stock and cobwebs to Flambards. See original medicine bottles, apothecary jars, quartz carboys, demijohns, pill dispensers and mortars and pestles.
