School groups welcome
House tours can be provided for school groups who are short of time. The tours pick up on the basic history of the house and how life has changed. We can tailor the tours to your needs.
How to get the most out of your visit
- Book at least one month in advance so we can create a unique visit
- Decide on the key points you want your group to learn
- Arrange a visit to the site for yourself, so you know the house
- Make sure the children bring wet weather gear and old, warm clothing
We provide a membership scheme specifically for schools and academic groups. From only £34.50 your whole school can be covered for 12 months, getting free admission to any National Trust site. Visit the National Trust EGM website page for more details.
Resources available
We can also provide a longer, more hands-on experience for small school groups (maximum 30 students). These visits can be tailored to your teaching needs and are only available in March and November. Please contact the property for more information.
