Extras your School group might enjoy...

Appearances by Peter Rabbit and Beatrix Potter
School groups can book an appearance by our Peter Rabbit character costume or our knowledgeable actress who plays Beatrix Potter.  Miss Potter talks to the children as if she is Beatrix Potter in the year 1920 about her life, career as a writer, farmer and conservationist.  Dressed in costume recreated from original photographs by costumiers from the Royal Exchange Theatre, she can tailor her performance to suit your occasion. Time travel with her in the exhibition or during a private appearance in the Tea Garden and make your time together truly memorable. If you want that special touch that will make your gathering go with a Victorian swing - Miss Potter entertains!  To find out more click here.
