Accessible History Kids
Join us for a tactile and sensory workshop where kids will discover what life was like at Elizabeth Farm 200 years ago.
Bring your muscle power because there’s so much to do: the bed needs making, clothes need washing, herbs need crushing. If you work hard, you may even get a chance to play!
This program is designed for kids and families with additional support needs. More details about the content of the program are included in the document below – please let us know if we can adjust the program to support the needs of your family. Any details on how we can best support your kids/family can be included on the following bookings page.
Please note – adults are required to supervise participating children and tickets are needed for children and adults/carers. There is no limit to parent/carer tickets.
This program is subsidised by MHNSW so that all families can enjoy our properties.
