Britain's What's On Event Guide
Bumper Victorian Family Fun at Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery
Join us for a bumper hands-on Events Day where you can find out more about how the Victorians lived.
Meet an Upper-Class Victorian family to find out more about everyday life for the well off and get hands on with Victorian artefacts.
You can also meet the Celebrated Professor Septimus Ringwood of London, Quack Medicine seller, accompanied by his wife Mistress Prudence Ringwood. Before the National Health Service of today, medicine and treatment were very expensive. The less well off in society would seek out men like ‘Professor' Ringwood who peddled his dubious wares at fairs and markets. The professor had a sideline in tooth pulling; audiences are always fascinated by dental equipment of yesteryear.
Richard York will also be on hand to play Victorian music and tell stories.
Younger visitors can make a Victorian medical bag in a themed ‘make and take’ The event is suitable for all ages, just drop in. There is no charge for the event, but donations are welcome.
