Outreach enables us to bring the museum service out of the Museum in the Park and into your venue.
We offer a number of Outreach sessions, many in conjunction with the Spaniel in the Works Theatre Company. It is also possible for some of the activities in the Resources for Schools to be delivered as Outreach. Contact the Learning Programmes Officer for more details and booking:
