Llanfyllin Workhouse is one of Britain's finest examples of an authentic Victorian workhouse. Today it's used for all kinds of community activities. Entry and parking are free. Dogs are welcome.
In the History Centre your family can watch 'Ghosts of the Workhouse': a moving film aimed at all ages. There are Welsh and English versions. The ghost of the first Master shows us round the building and introduces us to other ghosts – young children and adults who lived and worked there. We see a family arriving and find out what happened to them.
One of Britain's finest examples of an authentic Victorian workhouse, and the only one in Wales open to the public. Our film and activities are aimed at all ages, but make us think about what it meant to be a poor family in Victorian times.
Visits to Llanfyllin Workhouse, indoors and out, are self-guided. Families can see the displays, watch the 30-minute film and follow the visitor trail: all without an entry charge. If you've enjoyed your visit, leave us a donation.
Kids can dress up in workhouse costume, pick oakum or write on a slate. There's a quiz sheet to go round with - and plenty of space to run about.
