Interactive family history session on local folklore with stories, artefacts and hands-on craft activities.
Tudor House & Garden is hosting Frightening Folklore on Thursday 29 October, a session that sits within their broader 'Hands On History' programme. It's a family history morning focused on local folklore, and it's aimed at ages six and over, so it works as a family outing rather than a solo trip.
The 'Hands On History' sessions are built around discovering history in a fun, interactive way. The idea is that young people uncover stories, investigate artefacts and pick up a few amazing facts along the way, rather than just listening to a talk. This particular session turns that towards local folklore: you'll meet mythical creatures, hear stories and get crafty with hands-on activities. It's pitched as a fun-filled family history session, and the focus is on doing rather than just watching.
Because it's part of the 'Hands On History' series, the session is designed to be interactive from the start. You're not just hearing about folklore; you're working with artefacts and making things yourself. It's the kind of thing that keeps kids engaged because they're actually doing something with their hands, and it's aimed at ages six and over, so it's a good fit for families with primary-school-aged children.
