Travel through time at St Fagans National Museum of History

We’re having an eventful August at St Fagans! We’ve already explored the Celtic period and Medieval times and this week we are immersed in Tudor life! 

Until Friday this week you can book to take part in interactive sessions at St Teilo’s Church, where you’ll meet a Tudor guide who will introduce you to some of the customs and practices of the times. You’ll learn about Tudor life, handle replica objects from the collection, and gain an understanding of the significance of the Church’s intricately painted walls. Our aim is to create a fun learning experience for the whole family. Times, prices and booking information can be found here: Explore the Tudor Church

You can also join the Art Cart Corner, where we’re running drop-in craft activities Mondays-Fridays throughout August. This week you can further explore the Tudor period by creating your own Tudor roses, ruffs, swords, crowns, houses, stained glass effect windows and paper dolls! The Activities are £4 per child (accompanying adults craft for free!). You’ll be given a wristband allowing you to drop-in and out of the activity space as much as you like between 10:30 and 15:00. 

And the fun doesn’t end with the Tudors! Next week, we will be getting to know the Victorians! We’ll be running Meet the Victorian Teacher sessions, and our craft activities will be Victorian themed! We’ll be making peg dolls, Victorian houses, paper cup-and-ball games and thaumatropes along with other activity sheets and crafts.
