When good old Blighty doesn't deliver on the sunshine don't let the weather forecast get you down.  There are absolutely loads of things to do at Flambards come rain or shine!  Why not embrace the Cornish weather and check out the top ten things to do at Flambards when it's soggy.

1. Victorian Village – Top of the list has to be the Flambards Victorian Village which creates the atmosphere of bustling streets and alleyways.  Over 50 different shops and domestic situations are authentically recreated with thousands of genuine artefacts and 'populated' by very realistic life-sized models of people and animals going about their daily business.  Step back in time and see history come alive. The attention to detail is incredible and you can discover everything from the village stores, bakers to the dressmaker and dairy, the dentist to the tobacconist - there's even below stairs view of life including the busy kitchen.

2. Britain in the Blitz - a life-size re-creation interpreting war-time.  Hear the air raid sirens and literally feel the floor shake as another bomb hits the target.  A visit will illustrate what life was like on the Home Front.  Peep in to a wartime kitchen, a classroom and an evocative railway platform scene showing children evacuating.  There are a series of letters to home from children evacuated to Cornwall to escape the threat of bombs.

3. Chemist Time Capsule - Discover the world of William White, a pharmacist who lived and worked in Somerset.  When he died in 1909, the shop was boarded up by his son who wasn't qualified to dispense drugs, the shop remained untouched for more than 80 years.  The walls are lined with medicine bottles, apothecary jars, quartz carboys, demijohns, pill dispensers and mortars and pestles.  This whole shop was carefully installed to Flambards as it was – lock, stock and cobwebs.

4. Entertainment on Flambards indoor centre stage – A super special programme of exciting entertainment for kids every day, from Ferdi the Fox, magicians and balloon modelling to  Mark's Ark and close animal encounters. Check the weekly schedule and don't miss out.

5. Hands-on Science - Discover an array of hands-on science activities with laser maze and disorientation tunnel. Watch and hear the laws of physics brought to life in an engaging family friendly way.

6. Indoor Play - The Cool Zone & Sea Legs Soft Play is great fun for little ones set in the indoor play areas plus there is lots of room for parents to sit and chill out too.

7. FREE Face-painting - for kids - Flambards fabulous face painter will be on hand to do some great unique designs transforming children into their favourite animals, characters – let their imagination run wild.
