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 programmes filled with hands-on activities, re-enactments, and workshops - so for your next school trip, why not bring your class along?
We would like to thank all of the schools who have visited us previously and we always welcome new schools.
When we reopen, our 2021 sessions will be adapted in light of the Covid situation. Keep an eye on our website for details including our new Little Explorers programme for younger children and some new outdoor opportunities.
