Victorian Weekend 22 & 23 August
Victorian Weekend: An Immersive Living History Event
Encounter the Ragged Victorians across the Museum — from the rat catcher and his scurrying companions to sharp-eyed street urchins, rogues and wandering vagabonds. Watch the Rifle Brigade put new recruits through their paces with drill and discipline, and take your place in the Victorian schoolroom, where neat handwriting and good behaviour are expected at all times.
Explore historic buildings and the heritage farmyard to see how ordinary Victorians lived and worked — and for a lighter moment, brave the swing boats for a taste of traditional fairground fun (additional charge applies). But stay alert… quick fingers and cunning characters may be closer than you think.
This is a Premium admission day. Free entry for COAM Annual Members.
