Education and Workshops

The Education Centre
We offer a professional and quality service to schools and children’s groups from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 5.

Children in a processionInformation
Led by an experienced teacher, the Education Centre works with groups of all ages and backgrounds, from the UK and abroad. We especially welcome children from special schools and enjoy adapting and developing trails, workshops and other activities according to the needs of the group and the curriculum. Whether you are here for a couple of hours or a full day we will help you to plan your visit to ensure all children and young people gain as much as possible from their time with us.

What children have said…

‘Thank you for a lovely day. We enjoyed ourselves.’
‘We had a superb time, starting off with the Winchester Bible which was extraordinary.’
‘Thank you very much for a lovely day. We learned a lot and had lots of fun.’
