Learn

Florence Nightingale, the impact of WWI, the science behind modern medicine, and the downright grubby state of a Victorian street — just a taste of the sheer scope of what a day with the Thackray Education Team offers.

We have something for everyone, from Early Years (EYFS) to Key Stage 4+ and all that comes in between. Our trails and workshops explore a range of topics such as History, Science, PSHCE and Design and Technology. 

How Does It Work?

Start planning your trip in advance by visiting the museum for free* — meet our team and design a visit that works for you and your students, from a couple of hours to a full day out:

Self-led Trails

Explore our 11 galleries with our bespoke trails on curriculum-based areas of history, science, PSHCE and design. Focus on one theme or cover several in a day. All self-led visits include a full day ticket for each student, access to our galleries and self-led trails as well as our on-gallery programme of talks.

Workshops

Dive deeper into the subject with workshops exclusive to your group. All workshop tickets also include full access to our galleries, self-led trails and on-gallery programme.
