Families are always welcome to visit the museum when we are open to the public.
Groups of Home Educators are also welcome to book on our Schools programme. The day is suitable for students aged 10 years and above and costs £12.00 per head (minimum booking fee of £170.00) for groups smaller than 14.

Activities will be offered as drop-in sessions so learners can self-direct without the pressure of a formal schedule. Activities will include options for every age:
