An introduction to the Victorian experience at Reveley Lodge

Bushey Museum works with local schools to run Victorian Experience events at Reveley Lodge for primary school children. Both children and event leaders dress in period costume. Through taking part in a Victorian school lesson attended by a school inspector, helping with the laundry and enjoying afternoon tea complete with home-made Victoria sponge cake, the children get an appreciation of life in Victorian times.

“We wish to congratulate you and your staff on the age appropriate structure of the programme set out for our visit. We appreciated the professional approach, together with providing a safe and secure environment which enhanced our visit further. We also feel that all the staff interacted with the boys in a way which made education a fun activity” – Northwood Prep School

The event continues to be very popular both with teachers and pupils. If you would like your school to take part, please contact our Education Coordinator Adele Taylor.
