Schools

Burwell Museum offers unique, hands-on sessions for schools studying local history, toys, transport, the Victorians, the Second World War and STEM subjects. Please download our programmes for KS1 & EYFS . We are also proud to support schools working towards Artsmark.

  • Our pre-school and school workshops, self-guided visits and loans boxes are designed around the new schools curriculum. We offer half day visits of 2 hours, usually 10.00-12.00, or full day visits usually 10.00-14.00.
  • Most school visits cost £2.50 per student for half days and £3.50 for full days (break time refreshments provided at an extra cost of £0.50 per student). If we are creating a bespoke visit for your class then we will charge £1 extra per child.
  • We can accommodate up to 70 students for a day.
  • Most activities are led by museum staff and volunteers - children will be split into groups of up to 20 and work round a carousel of activities to make the best use of our small spaces.
  • If you prefer, you can book a self-guided visit (£2 per child, accompanying adults free) and lead your own group. Please email museum@burwellmuseum.org.uk to discuss your requirements.
