The Victorians

What better place to study the Victorians then in our Victorian Fort!

Our Victorian series looks particularly at Portsmouth in the reign of Queen Victoria covering some of the key people and events of the 19th-century using replica contemporary objects and costumes.

Want your class to find out school isn’t that bad? Send them back to our Victorian school and we’ll show them what it was like.

Why not make it a REALLY memorable experience and dress as Victorians for the day?
