Could you be a young Victorian at Ironbridge?

How about stepping back in time to become a young Victorian?

Ironbridge Gorge Museums in Shropshire are looking for kids aged 9 - 13 to be young Victorians at their Blists Hill Victorian Town.

You could be joining the adults who dress up as Victorians and tell visitors about Blists Hill Town.

You could take part in the town's celebrations, including Queen Victoria's birthday.

You could also learn how to play street games, try out crafts, attend the town school, discover what life in the mines was like … and shine the odd pair of shoes!

Paul Gossage from Ironbridge Gorge Museums said, "Children love the time travel programmes such as 'Doctor Who' and to have the chance to take a step into history is a rare opportunity that they will remember all their lives."
