Children will get the chance to learn about a traditional Victorian craft by sewing their very own rainbow lavender sachets. The rainbow has been an symbol for the LGBTQ+ community since artist Gilbert Baker created the first Rainbow flag in the 1978. The diversity of colour represents a different element of said community. Eldon House strives to uphold our values of inclusiveness and respect by being a safe space for those of the London LGBTQ+ community. After the workshop, take time to enjoy a self-guided tour of Eldon House and enjoy the museum’s grounds and gardens.
