Meet the Villagers
Step Back in Time
You don’t have to read dreary old books to learn about history, just come along to one of our "Meet the Villagers" Live Days and see history unfold around you! Every third Sunday in the month (subject to change) the village comes to life as a Living Museum. Our volunteers dress-up in period costume and set about performing the daily chores and activities of early Howick settlers.
On most "Meet the Villagers" Live Days you will find a marching band, soldier military drills, an educational exhibition that relates to that month’s theme, an opportunity to play Victorian Era games, and a horse and carriage. Don’t study history. Live it!
"Meet the Villagers" Live Days are from 10am to 4pm and admission charges apply.
