A self-led trail for children and families, tailored for 5-10 year olds
Client: Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery
Pitzhanger Manor is an art gallery and historic house in Ealing, west London.
It was once a country house where the famous architect John Soane lived with his family over 200 years ago.
I worked with Pitzhanger's learning team to design and illustrate an engaging visitor trail packed with information and activities for children and families.
Multi-sensory activities encourage visitors to interact with each space, helping them learn about the history and purpose of the house.
Reward stickers await families who visit each stop on the trail.
