Overview:

Bring your children to Ely Museum to find out what it was like to shop in your local high street in the past. Handling real and replica objects, the children will visit The Grocers, The Butchers, The Haberdashery and The Greengrocers. They will have the opportunity to buy items from these shops using old coins. The children can also spend time playing with our historical toys and can buy a fruit snack to eat from the Greengrocers.
