Educational Sites
Unfortunately due to Covid19 we are not currently leading face to face visits and workshops.
We will be launching virtual workshops in October and we are taking bookings for school and group visits from January 2021 onwards; these bookings will be dependent on future national and local lockdowns. To make a booking for 2021 or to register your interest in virtual workshops please complete our enquiry form.
In the meantime, we have lots of activities on our website. Take a look at the Learning from Home bundles with themed activities for schools, groups and home schoolers, the Canal & River Challenge Badge for uniformed groups, Let’s Go Outdoors for ideas to visit your local canal or river and Make and Play for crafts and games.
24 of our sites have been awarded the Quality Badge by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom.
