About

There is always plenty for children to do in the House on weekends, such as the dressing-up box, making badges, decorating with chalk, and arts and crafts. But visit us every second Friday of the month for a special family fun session guided by our volunteers and staff, with a new activity each time!

Step back in time and discover what it was like to visit Ilkley’s famous Hydros in Victorian times!

Activities include:
– Dress up in Victorian costumes
– Play with traditional Victorian toys
– Explore our mini Manor House
– Take part in a special “Find the Mice” treasure hunt around the House

These events take place downstairs in Ilkley Manor House or outside if the weather is good.
