    Step back in time and experience life the way it used to be when Milton Keynes Museum's popular Victorian Weekend returns this June 17 & 18.

    The event comes with a Royal seal of approval too; Queen Victoria – and her ladies in waiting - will be putting in an appearance both days.

    If you want to spend more time with HM, the Museum is once again offering visitors the chance to enjoy afternoon tea with Queen Victoria.

    Neil Storey will capture young imaginations with a story about London after Midnight. And for the grown ups? A little look back over the gruesome murders committed by the hands of the infamous and elusive Jack the Ripper...

    If you get fed up filling the washing machine, spare a thought for our Victorian ancestors who had an altogether more laborious task when it came to laundry day – and the Museum will be showing you how they did it.

    Perhaps you are lucky enough to have a costume, uniform badge or some other memento from the era and want to know more about its history; Graham Bandy will be set up and ready to answer your questions – so go dig those heirlooms out from the back of the garage or that loft space.

    With music from the Wolverton Town Band (on the Saturday) and a violinist (Sunday), shooting displays from the Die Hard soldiers, and puppet shows, the event will be bursting with fun for all ages.

    You'll need to keep your wits about you though; the Ragged Victorians come straight from the pages of Oliver Twist and will be showing the other side of Victorian life on site all weekend.

    Be careful because they might pick a pocket or two!

    Standard admission prices apply – which will also give you FREE entry for the following 12 months; adults £15, concessions £12, child £10.
    A family ticket (admitting two adults and up to four children) is £40.
