We are sorry that due to the current situation we are unable to take school visits until after February half term, 2021.
If you would like to make a provisional booking, please email your request to [email protected] giving your school name and contact details, the programme you are interested in and the year group who will be coming.
Bookings will be dependent upon the situation at the time but we hope to welcome you to the Royal Gunpowder Mills in 2021.
Bring your class to our fun and informative educational programmes, designed to bring learning to life!
Here at the Royal Gunpowder Mills, our experienced education team will tailor our educational programmes to the age range (and key stage) of your students.
We offer full day programmes (10am - 2.30pm) filled with hands-on activities, re-enactments, and workshops - so for your next school trip, why not bring your class to experience one of our educational programmes?
We would like to thank all of the schools who have visited us previously and we always welcome new schools.
Our 2020 programme will include our usual sessions plus more! Keep an eye on our website for details including our new Little Explorers programme for younger children. Booking is now open.
We will be keeping our prices the same in 2021 so book your slot early!
