More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
The new museum has an exciting and lively programme of tours, curriculum supporting creative and STEM workshops and boat trips from Early Years through to Key Stages 1-4.
Learning will be active and fun. It is happening in real time in our Conservation Workshop as boats are conserved, on the water as boats steam up in the morning, and in the many voices you will hear.
Children and young people will get hands-on experience how boats, steam and stories have shaped this part of the United Kingdom.
Inspired by the collection and landscape, our learning programme has been crafted to enrich children and young people’s understanding and enjoyment of this unique location. Join us on a new journey together.
