Fleetwood Museum
This Grade II listed building, that once housed Fleetwood’s 19th-century Customs House, gives your pupils the opportunity to step back in time.
Through role-play and object handling sessions, your pupils can explore and discover Fleetwood’s heyday as a Victorian seaside resort.
Learning sessions
Victorian seaside boarding house
Find out what it was like to go on holiday – Victorian style, and go to the purpose built resort of Fleetwood. Meet an archetypal Victorian landlady as she reminds you of your responsibilities and the rules of the house!
Some children may even find themselves put to work ensuring that guests have a clean and comfortable stay.
Victorian object handling
A variety or household objects from over 100 years ago provide the basis for a fun and interactive examination of Victorian home life and the anticipation of the trip to the seaside on a steam train.
Discover how you can mend socks with a mushroom and pose for an old-fashioned holiday snap!
Together these make up a half-day session for Reception KS1 and KS2.
