Live Day - Victorian Valentine's

Love is in the air at Howick Historical Village!

Step back in time to learn about the traditions of Valentine's Day. Decode the secret ‘Language of Flowers’ in a talk at 11:00 and 2:00. Make a card or scented lavender sachet for that special someone or purchase sweets for your sweet in the old-fashioned Sweet Shop! Stroll the picturesque streets and admire the beautiful gardens.

Churn cream into butter or attend a Victorian school lesson. With demonstrations of blacksmithing and bookbinding throughout the day, and performances by Morris dancers at 10:30 & 11:30, and the bagpipe band at 12 pm, there will be lots to entertain everyone!

Have lunch at the Homestead Café or pack a picnic to enjoy in the grounds. Make a day of it!
