Magnet Mania: Victorian Adventures

Magnet Mania: Victorian Adventures

A hands-on, creative building session inspired by Victorian life at The Grove. Use magnetic tiles to design, build and test your own country houses, gardens, farm buildings and Victorian inventions.

Step back to a time of grand homes, working farms and new ideas. Build manor houses, walled gardens, greenhouses, stables, beehives, bridges and structures inspired by the Victorian and Edwardian period. Experiment with different designs and see how your creations connect, balance and stand strong.

There are no fixed rules. You decide what to build and how it works. Try ideas, rebuild and improve as you go.

This relaxed session supports problem-solving, spatial thinking and creative design through play. It suits all ages, from younger children to adults who want to take part.
