Historia: Beauty Routines

For children 8 to 13 years

Being beautiful in the past was not a simple process. Make sure you covered your hair in animal fat, but then protected it from the rats overnight while you slept. Cover your face in poisons that will slowly drive you insane, and don't forget to wash your mouth out with urine.

This month we will explore some of history's bizarre beauty practices and have a go at treating some wigs to a true historical beauty regimen.

Please note:

• Do not attend if unwell

• If you cannot make it to the event, we strongly encourage you to cancel your ticket to ensure your spot is allocated to someone on the waitlist

• To enable a safe, enjoyable experience at our library events, children aged 11 and under must be supervised at all times by a parent, guardian or carer.

This event may include discussion and images related to sensitive topics such as death, and other distressing subjects. Viewer discretion is advised, and please be mindful of your own emotional well-being while attending this event.
