If you've never visited The Workhouse before, we hope to see you in this our 10th anniversary year. And we look forward to welcoming back our regular visitors. There's always something new to see. We're open from 29 February until 28 October.

To celebrate The Workhouse's 10th anniversary of opening its doors to the public Dame Fiona Reynolds DBE, our Director-General, joined us to bury a time capsule and open the laundry drying room, a new addition this season.

We've lots of special events planned, but you can still enjoy our popular 'Graft, Gruel and Good-For-Nothing' days and other favourites.

Look out for:

  • Our traditional Victorian village fete
  • Women in the Workhouse exhibition
  • Craft demonstrations and hands-on Victorian activities
  • The Workhouse storyteller's midsummer story walk
  • Insights into The Workhouse talks series
  • Community Drama Weekend
