Flambards is a popular choice with schools for both educational trips and a great fun end of term day out.
Living History Characters – Schools can now book a character to help bring your educational trip to life!
- Meet the ARP warden and learn about their duties or hear stories from the Victorian streetseller who knows all the comings and goings around Flambards Village!

- This new aspect to educational visits helps to really explore and discuss life from times gone by, giving children the chance to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
Life size Victorian Village
