Join our enthusiastic staff in a roleplay experience which will give young pupils a crash course in Victorian education, from silly classroom punishments to the dreaded "three R's". The perfect free activity for kids with an interest in history or drama - students will learn about Cork under British rule and the daily lives of Victorian children and get an interactive tour of The Old Cork Waterworks’ museum and engine rooms. Attendees are encouraged to dress up for the occasion in olden-days costumes, and to bring a snack for break time where they'll learn some historic schoolyard games. Suitable for children aged 7 to 10.
