Not quite as gory as you might think! The Elizabethans were obsessed with their image and portraits indicate their wealth, achievements, interests and victories. Try on some of our replica clothes and make your own version or explore the wealth of pattern and how it was ‘quartered’ or designed.

10.30am to 12.30pm and 1.30 to 3.30pm drop-in.

All children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Some activities are messy so do wear clothes that can get dirty. If an activity is busy there may be a short wait.
