An educational visit to Yesterday's World is
ideal for all age groups. It provides an
excellent addition to classroom studies on a
wide range of topics, in particular,
Victorian Britain and Britain since 1930,
whilst offering cross-curricular links to
English, ICT, Science and Geography.
Packed with over 100,000 genuine artefacts and
authentic sounds and smells along the way, children
are given a unique opportunity to take a walk back
in time to experience the look, feel and smell of
life as it used to be at the turn of the century.
Inspire the imagination of your class as you set
off up the winding stairs of our 600 year old
medieval house, back through time. Journey along the
cobbled high street of yesteryear where you'll find
(amongst other displays) a
1930s grocers and
post
office with rapid wire system and hear the rumble of
horse and cart in the busy market place.
Breathe in the delicious scent of 'penny
twists'
in
Mrs Bumble's Chocolate Shop, where colourful jars
of goodies jostle for space on the heavily-laden
shelves and compare the packaging, prices and
varieties in comparison to today's sweets. As
you stroll past the
Victorian kitchen,
the air is filled with the aroma of spices where the
hard-working cook and her maid are busy preparing
dinner for the master and mistress of the house.
Yesterday's World is also an ideal place to
bring your class for a fun day out with hands-on
touch and feel exhibits and a miniature Victorian
play village. Why not take turns at playing
the village inn-keeper, take a lesson as a governess
in the Victorian school room, pretend to be a
blacksmith in the forge or even get sent to the
castle dungeons?
Most schools allow half a day for a visit, allowing plenty of time to explore the play village and ‘touch and feel exhibits’, eat lunch and visit the gift shop for souvenirs before they go home.
Visits should be pre-booked in advance by calling
01424 777226 or requesting your preferred
time and date online.
