The Museum is a popular venue for group visits – their length varies but typically lasts two hours depending on whether it involves a tour, Classroom Experience and refreshments. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes – and you can include a short “lesson” in the Victorian Classroom and view the former Methodist Chapel, and you can have an object quiz to test who’s been listening attentively during the tour! There’s time to share your own schooldays memories too.
The tour costs £7 per person. Or for £10 we can include a Classroom Experience to stimulate your group’s reminiscences or a meeting with one of Mr. Wilderspin’s Agents or Teachers.
Tea and coffee is available as part of tours (£2 per person).
Another fun way to explore the School as a group, perhaps as part of a special occasion, is our Classroom Curiosities Experience. Click here for more details.
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.
