Treasure Chests

Ever wondered how people kept clean in the medieval ages?

Pondered how they entertained themselves? Perhaps you’d like to try on some medieval clothing or discover their gruesome method of treating toothache?

At a selection of the sites in our care, treasure chests full of replica historical artefacts are available for education groups to use during their visit. The items stimulate the senses and help children understand everyday life at each site - whether it be a castle, abbey or townhouse. Please enquire about the availability of the treasure chest when booking your visit.
