Our loan kits contain a selection of real and replica artefacts that can be handled and displayed within your own setting, offering a variety of ways to enhance your learning.
Loan kits can be hired at a weekly cost of £20.50 per kit and are paid for at the time of booking.
They are collected from The Usher Gallery in central Lincoln after 1pm on the first Saturday of the hire period and must be returned before 12 noon on the final Saturday (other hirers may be collecting them on the same day that they are returned).
Enquire now and you will be contacted by a member of our team who will check availability, answer any questions about the contents of the kits and process your booking.
