School Visits

We offer school visits free of charge, with a variety of activities for teachers to choose the most suitable for their class or current curriculum focus.

For visits to the Sharing Space enter by the side entrance (opposite the café) it’s completely accessible and has it’s own buzzer.

We do recommend groups of ideally 25 max at a time in the Sharing Space. If year groups or larger classes come together, in the past we have one/two groups visit aspects in the grounds while the other is inside.

Self Guided ideas for Outside:

Wayfinding & Interpretation at all heritage points in the grounds including: Medieval Dovecot & Pond, Obelisk, Heritage Track, Walled Garden & Community Garden.
While moving through the site sketching is a great idea, observational drawing, or plant/flower/bug identification.

ACCESSIBILITY

*** LIFT OUT OF ORDER ***

We can currently only offer step-free access to the lower ground floor

We are committed to being open and accessible for everyone. As there are some requirements we must adhere to around the original structures of this heritage site we have endeavoured to make your visit as seamless as possible.

For step-free access please come to the side entrance opposite the community cafe where there is a ramp.

You will find a doorbell to the left of the door. Upon notifying us of your arrival, you will be guided to the lift by a staff member. Our lift is only suitable for those wishing for step-free access and wheelchair users. We regret that mobility scooters cannot be accommodated.
