Schools and learning
We are always delighted to welcome school groups to the museum.
We have a range of activities that we offer to suit all age groups, including tours, worksheets, object handling, art and craft activities as well as super-sleuth museum games!
We are particularly proud to be able to support children with additional needs. Our hands-on activities and explorations of the cottages, smokehouse and street models are particularly engaging for children of all abilities.
