Pastimes from past times at 14 Henrietta Street

This event has ended

14 Henrietta Street, Monday 25th April - Tuesday 26th April

Join us for a very special in-person Culture Club as part of Global Intergenerational Week.

Grandparents and grandchildren come along to 14 Henrietta Street to hear about the games played in the tenements, chat about the games you used to play and get a chance to play some games together!

Event includes exploration of the museum, taking inspiration from many of the stories we have gathered and present at 14 Henrietta Street about the games on the street and in the house where families and children lived together in the days before the internet.

Help bring the pastimes of days gone by back to life for young imaginations, while you learn and discover more about each other’s lives, all accompanied by tea (or juice) and biscuits.

Please note this event is for grandparents and grandchildren, no single adults allowed.
