Famine and the Workhouse Living History Workshop

Back to News

3rd Feb 2026

Today the children in Year 7 were transported back to 1850 and entered the Omagh workhouse. They were met by a very strict matron called Mrs Mckinley. She introduced them to the strict daily routines and assigned them work. Year 7 experienced the cruel and harrowing life inside the workhouse during this living history workshop. The workshop ended with a very informative question and answer session. Thank you Stephanie for bringing history to life for us this morning.
