Educational visits

We offer reasonably priced pre-booked packages for schools. These include the ever-popular World War II, Local History and Rivers programmes, plus visits covering other aspects of the history and geography curriculum. Our programmes offer opportunities for cross-curricular themed or topic, based studies for all key stages.

Information about our school and group visits and courses can be found below. If you have any queries please contact us.

We wanted to e-mail to thank you and the other staff at the museum for hosting our school trips during the last half-term. Every class thoroughly enjoyed it and the museum guides presented all the information brilliantly. Hopefully we will see you again for trips in the future!

A great big thank you to all the museum staff who led and supported the sessions. The sessions were well led and the resources shared were engaging and informative. The children were buzzing with excitement upon returning to school. The visit worked a treat as a hook for the start of the topic as children gained an insight to what life was life during WW2; listening to the air raid siren, visiting a genuine air raid shelter and evacuating on a steam train.
