Schools’ programme
We regularly run guided tours
for school groups. Teachers and parents can choose from a variety of
programmes running throughout the Museum, educating groups of up to twenty
children about different periods of history. Visits can reflect elements of
the National Curriculum, in subjects such as geography and history.
A museum filled with history
We have thousands of
artefacts stretching from the turbulent wars of the 15th century
right through to the present day, ranging from costumes to weapons, from
household appliances to entire rooms. There is no shortage of history and
drama to come alive. Even more can be found within our extensive collection
of books, newspapers maps, prints, photographs and other such documents in
our archives for the more advanced of budding historians.
We offer school packs with
maps and photographs for a small charge, ensuring that children never go
away empty-handed or bored from their visit to our society. Children can
enjoy quizzes while looking at the exhibits.
We hope you find the visits
informative and entertaining – and all for free!
