We welcome school visits.
We believe an understanding of our industrial heritage is an invaluable way to illuminate all our futures. We offer tours to school groups in KS2-5. Please contact us to arrange a tour or to find out more.
We also offer a range of hands-on activities including object handling, crafts and science events. Our Events and Facebook pages will have the most up to date information on what is coming up.
Exhibits include lace making, telecommunications, printing, mining, motorcycles, bicycle making, a model railway and much more.
