About This Event

This October half term follow our Plum Pudding Trail (£2.50), searching for the ingredients needed to make a traditional Victorian festive pudding, get creative during our pumpkin decorating sessions (17th Oct) and discover the historic garden on a guided Garden Tour (21st Oct). 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. Whether you're looking for hands-on family fun, autumn-inspired activities, seasonal treats or a unique insight into the past, there's plenty to discover at the Workhouse & Infirmary this half term.
