This session supports QCA History Unit 18 and National Curriculum KS 2 Local History Study. This two-hour hands-on session is led by a trained facilitator, and can be tailored to meet specific needs.

Our Town Pre-Visit
We recommend a pre-visit with the Education Officer to see and try out the activities in your session, discuss with staff how the session can be tailored for your class and to enable you to familiarise yourself with the building and its facilities. If you would prefer a telephone pre-visit, this can also be arranged. Please contact Emma Hart, Education Officer on 01329 824895 who will be happy to discuss this with you.
