History comes alive at Eltham Palace and Gardens

Take the sprogs on a family day out to Eltham Palace and Gardens this February half-term and you’ll come face-to-face with highly and lowly characters from the palace’s infamous past. They’ll be strutting the grounds, performing titbits or chewing your ears off about what things were like in their day. And if your little ones think school is boring, they’ll be grateful for it after discovering what the classroom was like for Victorian children.

Eltham Palace and Gardens, Court Yard, London SE9 5QE. February 11 - 19, 10am - 4pm. £17.60/£10.60 children. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/whats-on/elthampalace-feb-half-term/
