Families are being invited to discover the science of soap this half term in the historic Wirral village of Port Sunlight.
Port Sunlight is well-known for being built by William Lever to provide housing for ‘Sunlight Soap’ factory workers in 1888, with its Arts and Crafts-style houses and well-kept gardens making the village a popular visitor attraction ever since.
Today, Port Sunlight Village Trust is responsible for preserving the village and also manage Port Sunlight Museum, a re-created Edwardian Worker’s Cottage, and the interactive SoapWorks family experience. Visitors can join walking tours of the village and take part in a year-round programme of public events.
This February half term, Port Sunlight Village Trust are bringing back their popular soap-making activities for families to enjoy as part of Soapy Science Fun Days on 22 and 23 February, giving them the chance to make their very own unique bar of soap to take home.
Children will be able to choose from a variety of scents, colours and ingredients. Sessions will run at the village’s Church Hall on Bridge Street at 10am, 11.15am, 1pm and 2.15pm.
Tickets are £5 per child with a recommended age of 7+, while adults go free, and pre-booking is essential via www.portsunlightvillage.com/whats-on.
