Maidenhead & Windsor

Families are invited to 'travel back in time' at a free family event at Braywick Nature Centre, Maidenhead this Sunday afternoon (July 30) to discover the stories of people who lived and worked in the area more than 100 years ago.

The Braywick Victorian Family Day, which has been organised by Braywick countryside rangers in conjunction with Windsor & Maidenhead Royal Borough Museum, will also include a guided walk to find out about the amazing explorations of Victorian plant hunters and some history about Mr Hibbert's estate.

There will be a demonstration on how a wooden spinning top is made, a memory corner and a traditional pole-lathe woodturning display. Visitors can have a go at some old-fashioned games, try dressing up in Victorian clothes and make their own Victorian cardboard toy to take home.

There is no need to book in advance, simply turn up any time between 12 noon and 5pm on Sunday – or why not take a picnic and stay all afternoon?

There is no cost but donations will be welcomed.
