School Learning

Many thousands of pupils have experienced our wide ranging school program. Every workshop, living history re-enactment, handling activity, drama or creative activity is designed by our experienced staff to match and extend National Curriculum requirements.
We use our collection as a stimulating resource for skills based and inter linked learning.

"Superb educational resource. We will certainly use this service again."
