The Florence Nightingale Museum: Meet Miss Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing and as well as being an icon in her own lifetime, she is still an inspiration to many around the globe today. Join us for a special performance to meet Miss Nightingale and hear her story first hand, she will recount tales of her affluent childhood and how she broke away from Victorian expectations and her parents wishes to pursue Nursing. A decision that would lead to complete reform of the career and her gaining the nickname ‘The Lady with the Lamp’.

No need to book just turn up on the day.
