Education

Schools, home learners and groups of all ages are very welcome at the museum. We can offer guided tours and even a behind-the-scenes look at the museum stores to enhance your visit.

Education with the museum

Group visits must be booked in advance. If you would like a facilitated visit, please get in touch to discuss your options.

Pre-arranged visits to St Leonard’s Tower (the Clock Tower) are also possible – you can make an enquiry using the form below.

Please note: While we love facilitating group visits and make every effort to accommodate preferred dates, we are a small team. There may not always be suitable staff available. To avoid disappointment, please contact the museum with as much notice as possible ahead of your planned visit.

You can also download a selection of worksheets and activities before your visit from our resources section.
