Join the National Trust to explore the stories of some items from the National Trust Collection at Como House.

History and heritage live not only in text and in buildings, but also in the everyday objects used by those in the past.

These objects have stories to tell, if only we learnt how to listen. Join the National Trust to explore the stories of some items from the National Trust Collection.

Follow a material culture approach to History to uncover how objects tell us about our past. Learn how to ‘listen’ to an object and discover how one object can tell us multiple different things about the past depending on what questions we ask it. 

This event is for those aged 10 and up.
