Somerset Schools can access Heritage Workshops at all our Museum sites, and in the Classroom.

Our sessions support a cross-curricular approach to learning, and are grouped into eight categories:

 

We currently offer Standard sessions (approx. 90 mins) and Extended sessions for select workshops (all day including time for lunch).

Sessions can be adapted for delivery to any age 4-14. A maximum of 35 students can participate in each workshop.
