When you visit the museum on the 2nd Saturday of every month you will have the chance to Meet Miss Nightingale!

Listen as the ‘mother of modern nursing’ tells you her story in her own words. Performances take place at 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm.

Find out how Miss Nightingale overcame societal pressures to become a nurse, why she went to the Crimea, how she earned the nickname ‘the Lady with the Lamp’, and how she improved the conditions for the soldiers and nurses.

Discover the remarkable story of this historical icon and then explore the museum itself, which houses many of her actual historical artifacts!
