We welcome private group bookings for reminiscence sessions and school visits. Adult groups of up to 12 can enjoy a cosy, interactive experience, while school classes of up to 25 can be split into two smaller groups for a more hands-on visit. And of course, no session is complete without tea, coffee, juice, and plenty of biscuits!
Reminiscence Sessions
Our reminiscence sessions run for around 45 minutes and offer a chance to explore the past through a slideshow of old photographs or a hands-on session with objects from everyday life. Sessions can focus on themes like childhood, cinema, food, and school days, or take a more general approach, encouraging conversation and shared memories. Both of our reminiscence centres are designed to feel like a cosy living room, relaxed, welcoming, and full of stories.
School Visits
Children enjoy the interactive nature of our museum, where they can handle real objects and learn through experience. We can tailor sessions to fit specific themes, such as Granny’s Kitchen, Wartime and Rationing, or Toys and Games. Teachers often split classes into smaller groups to make the experience more engaging.
