Summer explorers schedule:
22 August – Romans
Travel back in time to AD 208, and experience living in the Fulham Roman villa. Dress the part using costumes from the collection, grind spices on mortaria and handle original Roman objects.
27 August – Vikings
It is AD 878, news has spread that Viking Invaders are in their longboats, journeying across the stormy seas, around the rocky British coast, safely up the Thames to finally settle at Fulham. How do we know all that? Who told us and what can we do to learn more?
29 August – Tudors
Katherine of Aragon has been sent to Fulham Palace to rest after suffering a terrible illness. Travel back in time to the Tudor period and train as an apothecary in order to cure Katherine of Aragon. Discover Tudor medicine by taking a look inside an apothecary’s bag and exploring different herbs and their remedial qualities. Will we be able to cure Katherine?
