Historical family fun   

‘Cavell, Carbolic and Chloroform…’
Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 October, timed tours half hourly through each day Peterborough Museum
A very special event at Peterborough Museum as it stages a ‘theatrical tour’, to experience the process by which wounded men were treated during the Great War, using costumed  re-enactors to bring the experience to life. As you arrive for your timed tour you will be given a service book for a named soldier, before being taken to the trenches. Follow the life of your serviceman from front line to his fate in the hospital. You will also get to meet  ‘Edith Cavell’ and find out the real story behind this remarkable lady!
The tour experience lasts about 50 minutes, and is not recommended for children  under 8 or those of a nervous disposition. 

Admission: £6 adults, £4 children/concessions, pre-booking recommended
