Home educating families

The Museums Learning team run a regular programme of workshops throughout the year. Learners have the opportunity to see and handle real or replica specimens and artefacts; meet curators and other subject specialists; have facilitated tours (sometimes behind the scenes) and take part in creative activities linked with a topic.

Group numbers are capped at 18 participants to enable learners to fully engage in a quieter, relaxed environment.

Here are some of the upcoming workshops for Home Educating families:

17 September    Discover Arts Award – Poetry

24 September    All about Bumble Bees

2 October          Geology store tour   **LAST FEW TICKETS**

13  October       Drawing British wildlife

We can also offer our existing school workshops for self-organising groups of Home Educators for a minimum of 15 and maximum of 18 children per workshop. Please contact us if you would like to book your group for one of these workshops.
