About

In May half term at John Wesley's New Room, travel back in time and visit our Georgian schoolroom! 275 years ago, going to school was very different – with no computers or whiteboards in sight!

During a visit to the museum, dress up in Georgian costume and meet our Georgian school teachers. Learn how to write with a quill pen and ink, write on a slate with chalk and make a lavender bag to take home.

Thursday 1 & Friday 2 June,
11am-12noon, 1-2pm or 2-3pm
