Water, Wells and Donkeys at Carisbrooke Castle

Through role play, practical activities and sensory exploration, your class will learn how the community at Carisbrooke Castle survived during a siege, how the treadwheel in the well house was powered, and what the role of the donkeys at the castle was in the past and today. By the end of the session, you will see the treadwheel in action, create a working wheel-operated model and meet and greet one of our resident donkeys. This session is particularly suitable for SEND groups so please let us know your requirements when making your booking.
