Wesley Day
This year we are celebrating Wesley Day a bit differently! As we can't hold our usual re-enactment day we're bringing the activities to you. The activity sheets can be printed out to try at home, or completed on a tablet, and we’d love you to share any photos with us on our social media channels: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
The Kitchen
Have a go at making wigs and rosewater macaroons for a Wesley Day celebration: Recipes from the kitchen - Wesley Day
Explore the House
Our Wesley Day themed activities include puzzles, a scavenger hunt and craft activities: A Celebration for Wesley Day
Lace making
Lace making was a popular pastime in the 18th century but it was also a vital trade and income for those that were less well off. Our resident lace makers have developed this information sheet to tell you more about the craft. We've added a new colouring activity for 24 May: Bobbin Lace - Wesley Day
Curator's Picks
Our Curator, Christian Dettlaff, has picked a selection of objects especially for the occasion: Curator's Picks - Wesley Day
Keep up to date on what is happening by checking our events, Twitter and Facebook.
