Dear Teacher

BEKONSCOT MODEL VILLAGE & RAILWAY

An ideal place to bring children for educational visits combined with pleasure. Bekonscot depicts rural England in the l930's. An unforgettable experience for everyone – this unique piece of history is just waiting to be explored. There is a gauge 1 model railway weaving its way through the village, remote controlled boats*, a sit-on 7¼ inch gauge railway*, pirate water feature*, kiddie rides* and many moving models. *Small extra charge applies. There is also a Tea Room, Ice Cream Parlour and Gift Shop.
Bekonscot is sure to capture the children's imagination and give them an insight into the l930's, with a wide application to curriculum.
The children may WALK around Bekonscot as many times as they like in order not to miss any small fascinating detail. Children MUST be supervised by an adult at all times, especially when on the elevated walkway, in the play area and around the water (life buoys situated around the lake).
SUGGESTED PREVIEW WORK: Discuss the social climate of the time - the differences between living in urban and in rural areas. Compare the twenty-first century and the l930's - attitudes, diet, technology, housing, industry, and architecture.
We hope we can share with you and your pupils the wonderland that is Bekonscot.
