Wakefield Museums and Castles

Workshop times:

• Tuesday 20 January, 10:30am to 12pm

• Tuesday 20 January, 1:30pm to 3pm

This workshop is for home educated children aged 5+ and their families.

The WC, the convenience, the smallest room in the house… The toilet has gone by many names over the years! 

In this workshop we will:

• explore the local history of the loo, from where the people of the past ‘went’ to what happened to their waste

• search for evidence of old loos within the castle grounds

• look at toilet-related objects from the museums collection

• discover what the toilets of the past can reveal to modern day archaeologists

This session is delivered in partnership with the Community and Family Learning Team at Wakefield Council’s Adult Education Service.
