Love and Romance in the Victorian Tradition abounds at Howick Historical Village!
Step back in time to discover the traditions of Valentine's Day. Decode the secret language of flowers, fans, handkerchiefs and letters. Monogram your initials on a hanky and make a scented lavender sachet for that special someone. Stroll the picturesque streets, pausing to watch artists painting in the plein air style of the 1800's . Purchase sweets for your sweet in the old-fashioned Sweet Shop!
Churn cream into butter or attend a Victorian school lesson. With demonstrations of blacksmithing and bookbinding throughout the day, and performances by Morris dancers at 10:30 & 11:30, and the bagpipe band at 12 pm, there will be lots to entertain everyone!
Have lunch at the Homestead Café or pack a picnic to enjoy in the grounds. Make a day of it!
