Packed with over 150,000 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.

Journey along the cobbled high street of yesteryear where you’ll find shops and displays including a 1930’s grocers, wheelwrights and apothecary. Children can hear the rumble of horse and cart in the busy market place and novel train announcements at the station.

Breathe in the delicious scent of ‘penny twists’ in Sweet Memories Chocolate Shop and 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.

Most schools allow half a day for a visit, allowing plenty of time to enjoy their FREE ride on the Victorian Carousel, eat lunch, visit the gift shop for souvenirs and use up their last pennies in the sweet shop before they go home.
