An educational visit to the Long Shop Museum will help pupils to build up a picture of a famous person like Richard Garrett (III), 1807 - 1866 or Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, 1836 - 1917 (KS1);or help pupils to build up a picture of the lives of working people in an industrial town in the Victorian era (KS2/3), and make links between then and now.

The Museum is open to the public from April to October but groups are welcome all year by prior arrangement (booking_form.doc).

We offer guided tours and activity sessions specifically geared for each group and are pleased to discuss ideas with teachers before a visit and evaluate sessions and display pupils work afterwards.

We are also able to help with research enquiries and have books available in the Museum shop including 'Don't Stop the Tally!' Education Pack for Key Stages 1,2 & 3.

Copies of the pack and other books are available to order by post (order_form.doc).
