Dress up as an Elizabethan and see the difference between richer and poorer people’s clothes, what they were made from and how they suited different lives. Do the clothes of the wealthy tell us about Tudor trade and exploration? Discover replica objects and real inventories then interpret them in a group tableau. What can we tell about Tudor life from these objects? Have a go at writing your own bit of Shakespeare with a quill and ink.
