Our learning experiences have been designed for a variety of age ranges and curriculum requirements. We support the National Curriculum and other formal qualifications, for example, GCSE History and Art.
Our learning offer has been divided into 3 areas to help you decide which style fits your needs:
Workshop Experiences
These are led by the learning team and we have lots to choose from, covering historical topics ranging from Prehistory to the Victorians!
You can select from a range of activities for either a part-day or full-day workshop. Our sessions are designed to be hands-on and encourage investigation.
Our full-day workshops begin at 10am and include three activities, finishing at 2pm. Part-day workshops are made up of two activities and can be booked for a morning or afternoon.
We will prepare your timetable based on your session choices.
Guided Learning Experiences
These one hour guided tours are led by the learning team and focus on topics related to the site, exhibitions and, or collections.
Examples include:
- a visit to a temporary art exhibition at Lincoln Museum and Usher Gallery, a visit to the Roman Posterngate remains (under Saltergate) or a bailey tour at Lincoln Castle with a specific topic focus
Self-led Experiences
You may wish to lead your own visit to the site. All self-led visits are booked via the learning team and there are a variety of options to choose from. Information about lunch room availability and access to other site facilities are also provided to support your risk assessments
