ADULT AND FAMILY TUDOR DAYS

| The Tudor Days at Poundstock Gildhouse not
only offer a special day for schools but can also provide an opportunity
for groups of adults and families to step back in time and become Tudors
for a day. We have a range of beautiful costumes in all sizes and have
acitvities including brewing baking and cob making as well as dancing
and a range of Tudor leisure activities. We can provide light lunches
and information about day to day life in Tudor times for rich and poor alike. |

This unique experience is available to any group of adults
or children so please contact Sandy Dingle

in making a booking. |

In August, St Breward W.I came to experience a Tudor day
programme that gave everyone an opportunity to join in the
practical activities that would have taken place in the building
in the 16th century. Over coffee Sandy Dingle outlined the
history of this Grade 1 listed building since 1540.
Then
having put on costumes that poor peasants may have worn everyone
made bread, brewed beer (non alcoholic ginger beer) and made cob
bricks. After changing into some grander clothes lunch was
served. Pretending to be the very rich we idled the afternoon
away playing Tudor games or trying to write with a quill pen.
