Soap, Suds and Servant Secrets at Judges Lodgings Museum
Judges Lodgings Museum, Church Street, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA1 1YS
Step back in time and find out if you have what it takes to work 'below stairs'.
Before washing machines and running water, doing the laundry was a full day marathon of heavy lifting, scrubbing and soap. This weekend for Heritage Open Days, our historic Wash House and Courtyard comes to life and we need your help to get scrubbing!
Plus we have family activities and our famous Pop-Up Tea Room run by the Friends of Lancaster Judges Lodgings.
Alongside the above, there will be pre-bookable behind-the-scenes tours; please see separate event entry for more details (event listing coming soon!)
These events are made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players.
