Visit the museum for a very special history workshop, or we can come to you in your school. The Education Officer will lead your pupils through a fun, educational, hands-on workshop. Pupils will develop their knowledge and key skills in a variety of learning activities using documents and artefacts to investigate the past.

School groups can book a visit to the museum when we are closed to the general public: Wednesday, Thursdays, and Friday mornings. You will have exclusive use of the whole museum! We can visit you in school on any day of the week, depending on our availability.
In school: workshops last 1 hour for a maximum of 1 class (35 pupils) at a time. Additional workshops can be delivered in school on the same day (see information on prices for how this is charged).
In the museum: workshops usually last up to two hours. You can bring a maximum of 30 pupils (1 class) to the museum at one time. The class will be split into two, with one half doing the workshop while the other half looks round the museum, swapping over after one hour. You need to make sure you have enough adult helpers to supervise both halves of the group.
Please see the information on prices.
