Workshops

Whether you want your pupils to discover what life was like as a Victorian child at school or as a legionary in the Roman Imperial Army, our workshops are designed to give them real insight into the topic they are studying.

Our expertly-led, exciting and hands-on workshops are firm favourites with Key Stage 2 groups and link with different parts of the National Curriculum.

You can choose from Science, Art or History and our workshops include elements of cross curricular links. We offer both museum-based workshops and outdoor learning activities in the park.
