February Half-Term at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House
Shekina Rose, Families EditorThis February half-term, step into a world of 19th-century literature and creativity at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House in Manchester. Families can enjoy a fun-filled adventure packed with hands-on activities, from arts and crafts to exciting games and adventure trails – all set within the historic home of Victorian author, Elizabeth Gaskell.
Little explorers can have fun dressing up in Victorian costumes, get creative and feel the love with Valentine’s inspired crafts and colouring in, and take part in fun games. Don’t miss the Cranford the Cat trail, which takes visitors on a journey through the house and garden, full of fascinating facts, fun challenges, and eco-friendly tips on supporting wildlife and reducing your carbon footprint.
Wander through the beautiful garden and then a break in the charming 19th-century tea room, where you can enjoy homemade cakes, and a hearty soup or hot chocolate for these cold wintry days.
Kids go free with every paying adult, making it a fantastic, budget-friendly day out for the whole family.
