More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
Visits for UK Schools
Themed workshops, self-guided visits and fun-packed itineraries ensure your school group will learn that there is so much more to Leeds Castle than history.
Your day at Leeds Castle can include:
A choice of themed workshops, delivered by a trained education co-ordinator and focused on requirements of the UK National Curriculum.
A visit inside the castle to discover almost 900 years of history, including Tudor life and the 1920s.
Free time for the children to discover the twists and turns of the maze, the magical underground grotto and playgrounds.
Visits last approximately four hours, including a one hour workshop activity, thirty to forty-five minute visit to the castle and additional time to explore. Self-guided visits do not include a workshop and are the perfect opportunity to plan your own day.
