Meet our costumed interpreters for Tales from the Workhouse, bringing to life the experiences of those who once lived and worked here through engaging storytelling and historical demonstrations (17th ,19th 26th & 31st). We're also piloting a new family-friendly indoor tour every Thursday at 11.45am throughout half term, offering another fun way for younger visitors to explore the site whatever the weather (places are limited so do book in upon arrival).
On 24 October, celebrate Bramley Apple Day with apple-themed activities, a performance from the Pauper Choir and delicious apple-flavoured treats available in the café.
For those who would benefit from a calmer visit, Quiet Hours provide early access to the property from 8.30am on Sunday 25 October.
