Children dress up as servants—caps, aprons & waistcoats, and get busy with the work of dairy maids, yard hands, laundry maids and kitchen staff—washing, collecting eggs, sweeping, mangling and a game or two!

When exploring the big house, the children ‘change their name, change their clothes and change the angle of their nose’ as they dress up and become Lords and Ladies of the Manor. Fancy finery combined with captivating activities – time-tested parlour games, a deportment class and dancing in drawing room.

There are farmyard animals to be visited in the sheds and fields at Rockfield. The gardens and courtyards are really beautiful spaces to enjoy too.

New this year – the children will get to raise their heartbeats on the pedal go-carts as we embrace how children’s play has changed through the ages with toys and experiences that are not always available to children living in urban areas.
