Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be poor in Victorian England?

Join us on a taster tour and our knowledgeable guide will take you on a tour of Vagrants Block within the Workhouse Museum telling the story of the building as well as what went on inside.

Our next tours will take place on Sunday 1 October & Sunday 12 November at 11:30am. Tours are free with museum entry.

We can also offer pre-bookable group tours which can include a rag-rugging session at the Workhouse Museum, object handling at the Prison & Police Museum or Workhouse Museums, or you can take part in a mock trial with scripts and costumes at the Courthouse Museum. Refreshments can also be provided. For more information about these tours click here.
