Two hundred years ago, education pioneer Samuel Wilderspin began his travels across Britain promoting infant schools in the nation’s towns, villages and cities. Our celebrations begin with this exhibition about his amazing adventures and achievements, and a programme of events through to 2026.
Explore the former Barton Church School and discover why it’s “one of the most important schools in England”. Admission is free and we’re open on each festival Sunday too.
