Families are always welcome to visit the museum when we are open to the public.
Groups of Home Educators are also welcome to book on our Schools programme. The day is suitable for students aged 10 years and above and costs £12.00 per head (minimum booking fee of £170.00) for groups smaller than 14.
We also offer Digital Future Days specifically for Home Educators.
