Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale kneels on a bloodstained sheet with school children kneeling beside her

Florence Nightingale workshops.

Our Victorian Fort provides the perfect setting for our on-site Florence Nightingale workshops.

  • Meet Florence Nightingale and learn more about her remarkable story through interactive storytelling and role play.
  • Help Florence Nightingale by investigating the fort and checking that it is up to her standards.
  • Use role play, dress-up and object handling to discover what life was really like on a Crimean Battle Camp.
