Saturday 8 February 2025 1pm to 2.30pm £6 per child Bourne Hall Museum Kids Club. Bourne Hall, Spring Street, Ewell KT17 1UF Florence Nightingale will visit Ewell after returning from her nursing duties in the Crimea. Meet her and discover her life story; hear about her famous lamp-carrying while at the Scutari Hospital and her later campaigns for nursing and health reforms in England. Hear about the difficult conditions that the nurses found themselves in. Find out how and why nurses were recruited and what the offences were that sent some home. Do you have what it takes to be one of Nightingale’s nurses? Would she let you stay or send you back to England without pay? Learn about the battles, poor living conditions and harsh weather which caused so many soldiers to be wounded and fall ill under the care of Florence and her team — see what treatments they would have got. Try out some of their nursing methods and decide if you would have liked to take her medicine!... READ MORE>
