Special events weeks are very popular as they give pupils and teachers the opportunity to immerse themselves in stimulating, hands-on activities. There are special events weeks at both Blackburn Museum and Turton Tower covering Victorian Christmas and Science Week.
Turton Tower
Victorian Christmas

Let your pupils step back in time to explore the simpler pleasures of a Victorian Christmas. The half day sessions for a few days each December are spent learning about Christmas in the ‘Old Days’ through a range of different, fun activities. Pupils will meet various Victorian Characters including Cook and a real Victorian Father Christmas. They will also take away a Victorian treat for the Christmas Tree! Suitable for KS1 and lower KS2.
