Roll up, roll up; you are cordially invited to the Museum of Lincolnshire Life for a marvellous day of Victorian wonders and a host of Victorian characters.
On Saturday 17 June 2023, visitors to the museum on Burton Road can step back in time and discover the lives of Lincolnshire Victorians. Meet the printer, Mr Black, and the pharmacist Miss Cheshire, as well as the kitchen maid and the Victorian teacher.
There will be a craft activity throughout the day too where you will have the chance to make your own thaumatrope, a popular toy in Victorian times. Featuring a disk with a picture on each side, thaumatropes were spun quickly using string to create an optical illusion.
The museum’s visitor experience manager, Steve Dunk, said:
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming people for this exciting living history event.
“The museum really comes to life when we have our Victorian characters in, and it’s a chance for visitors to truly experience the history of the county. With our craft activities on throughout the day too, it’ll be a great day out for the whole family.”
Entrance for our special event cost just £3 for adults and £1.50 for children, and £2 for concessions. A family ticket for two adults and up to three children costs just £6.
The Museum of Lincolnshire Life on Burton Road, Lincoln, is open from Fridays to Tuesdays from 10am to 4pm. Plan your visit now at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/museumoflincolnshirelife.
