Please book in advance by downloading a form (.pdf, Adobe Reader document) and e-mailing it to the Museum as an attachment (see the 'Contact us' link above).

You can also request a Booking Form by phoning 01234 711516 or e-mailing the Museum (see the 'Contact us' link above) and we will post one to you.

We recommend that a member of staff, preferably the organiser, visits the museum before their school trip. This is free of charge and is by prior arrangement with the House Manager (phone or e-mail us). We will answer any questions you may have and help you to decide which displays best meet your group’s needs.

On request, we can provide a CDROM with full teacher resources for both key stage one and two usable before and during your visit to maximize your learning time.
