Children and adults alike will have a chance to play traditional
Victorian children's games at Shugborough this Bank Holiday.
The Victorian play workshops include hopscotch, hoopla, Diablo
and skipping fun in the stableyard, all led by a costumed character
straight from the past.
The play workshops are just part of a whole host of traditional
Bank Holiday entertainment at the tourist attraction which also
includes stunning horse and carriage rides through the parkland,
and face painting.
In the walled garden area youngsters can try their hand dipping
and rolling their very own candles and the blacksmith,
jewellery-maker, leather maker, hurdle-maker and wood turner will
all be demonstrating their skills to the public as well as selling
their wares.
Every day youngsters can take a fun train ride, meet the
friendly animal characters at the farm, listen to storytimes and
take part in quizzes. They can also help out with traditional
cheese and butter making.
The tearoom is open daily and offers a range of healthy
children's meals as well as homemade cakes and treats. The
old-fashioned sweetshop and the ice cream parlour will also be
open.
Shugborough is open daily from 11am until 5pm.
