The Museum is a popular venue for group tours – their length varies but typically last two to three hours depending on whether it involves lunch or afternoon tea. The guided tour takes about an hour – and you can include a short “lesson” in the Victorian Classroom, or you can have an object quiz to test who’s been listening attentively during the tour! We share our own schooldays memories too.
The tour costs £5 per person. Or for £6 we can include a Classroom Experience to stimulate your group’s reminiscences or a meeting with one of Mr. Wilderspin’s Agents or Teachers – and there’s a light-hearted group quiz activity using objects which is good fun.
Tea and coffee is available as part of tours (£2 per person).
There’s plenty of seating around the Museum if members of your group have restricted mobility – it’s all on the ground floor with wheelchair access and a wheelchair accessible toilet. There’s good car parking too and coaches can easily drop off outside the School.
