General Information for Schools
In order to help our staff and to avoid overcrowding the venues we ask that organisers contact the Museum or Mansion before visiting. Where possible, we encourage teachers to make a preparatory visit to the site to conduct their own risk assessments and to familiarise themselves with the collections. This also applies to those planning to take part in our Schools Educational Workshops.
