On Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd June 2010 you can explore Victorian stories and tales as part of National Family Week at the Ragged School Museum in Mile End. Expect lots of creative fun as you make books, create comics and listen to some popular Victorian yarns! Little ragamuffins can play in their Under 6’s area.
The Ragged School Museum is situated in Mile End and is also open to the general public every Wednesday and Thursday (10am until 5pm) and the first Sunday of the month (2pm – 5pm). On that Sunday they offer two Victorian Lessons (2.15 and 3.30pm) when visitors are taught by their strict Victorian teacher, Miss Perkins, and put through their paces as they try their hand at copperplate handwriting on slate boards and get to grips with the sterling money table!
The Museum is situated at 46-50 Copperfield Road, London, E3 4RR. Phone 020 8980 6405 for more details or visit their website www.raggedschooolmuseum.co.uk
