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.
