Victorian Days

A Victorian-themed day at the Royal Gunpowder Mills. Indoors and outdoors. Great for children of all ages plus adults too. Go to the Music Hall! Visit a mad Victorian professor creating smoke, bangs and mayhem in the Mad Lab! Find out all about the famous Victorian Congreve Rocket and its inventor. See if you can survive a Victorian schoolroom and meet Queen Victoria! There are guided tours of our Victorian buildings and activities for all ages. Try Victorian fairground favourites of coconut shies and hoopla or, for little heads, making paper hats and crowns. Go like an intrepid Victorian explorer on a guided tour to the secret north woodland and watch out for deer. Climb the Wildlife Tower for panoramic views and wildlife-spotting. A fun day out for adults too, with lots to learn about history, science and nature.
