Bolling Hall Museum

Great Fire of London: Life at the Time

Help pupils to find out more about life at the time of the Great Fire of London.

Pupils will use the historic room settings at Bolling Hall to explore what houses were like in 1666 and work in groups to create their own scenes of the Great Fire.

This workshop compliments our 1666 Street workshop and can be booked on the same day to create a full day’s immersive experience!

OR you can book from a selection of teacher led add-on activities to link to this workshop to create a whole day’s topic package.
