Bring your class to the Museum

Bring your class to our hands-on and friendly Museum!

Access and interactives are all designed with children in mind. We even have a low-level peephole trail for young children!

Your pupils can see live ropemaking demonstrations and make rope to take back to school – a good assembly prop for local learning!

Visits to the Museum are FREE, but donations are very much appreciated as we are a registered charity.

We offer schools:

• FREE visits and teacher pre-visits
• Loan boxes and downloadable resources for the classroom
• Exclusive use of the Museum at certain times of year
• Displays relevant to the National Curriculum

Find out what you can see at the Museum.

The Museum is great for:

• Learning about local history, including the rope and netmaking industry which is still active today
• Skills development: historical enquiry, creative and critical thinking
• Providing stimuli for reading, writing, speaking and art and design

We’d love to chat about your visit – please get in touch!
