Welcome Families!
We love to welcome children and families to the Charles Dickens Museum. Dickens was a fantastic novelist, who worked hard in his lifetime to help children in London, particularly those from poorer families.
A visit to our museum is a great way to introduce your family to the Victorian world, looking at what the home looked like in the 19th century, what people ate, and what it was like to be young at a time when 'childhood' didn't really exist. Our team run regular events and activities aimed at getting your family interested in the world of Dickens. We can tailor most of our events to different age groups and interests, so whether you're a 10 year old gripped by Great Expectations, or a 14 year old wondering what's the big deal with Dickens, we have the event for you!
Pushchairs & Prams: Due to restrictions in space in the historic house, please note that we are not able to allow pushchairs or prams into the house and they will need to be left in the cloakroom. |
