Life of Emily has gained numerous awards since opening in 2024. The museum presents the life of Emily Hobhouse, born in St. Ive in 1860, left for America in 1895 but returned 3 years later and later established ‘South African Women and Children Distress Fund’ during the Boer War. There is much information online.
There are many smallish rooms that breakdown the presentation of history, and to this end, the organisation is quite structured. We will have a timetable, according to our numbers.
They do request that our own food is not consumed on the property, as the restaurant provides light snacks, based on South African recipes. It’s also worth noting that our group price is £7 pp less than normal admission.
