Welcome to the third of our Scene in Time free family weekenders. This will be a fun, lively and informative exploration of the impact of trade and immigration on events here at Wilton's during its colourful lifetime and on the people whose lives have been connected to the building, whether they worked, lived, visited or performed here.
We have a programme jam-packed with shows to watch and participate in, arts and crafts stalls for making and doing, music, film and magic; plus, of course, everyone's favourites - face painting and balloon stalls. This will also be an ideal opportunity to relax, enjoy and soak up the atmosphere of this very special building, which scooped four RIBA awards in 2016.
