Convict Kids at Elizabeth Farm

Join us for a hands-on workshop where kids will discover what life was like in colonial times for a convict servant.

Bring your muscle power because there’s so much to do: the bed needs making, the table needs setting, herbs need crushing … If you work hard, you’ll earn a prized ticket of leave!

Finish the program with a delicious historic barley water and biscuit.

Please note: adults are required to supervise participating children and tickets are needed for children and adults.
