School and Youth Groups
The Museum is opened during weekdays for pre-arranged visits by school and educational institutions
Teachers will find it a valuable source of information and of particular interest to school children of all ages.
A donation to the Museum will be asked for in advance.
Make Learning Fun
The Museum has a number of hands on exhibits to enhance the learning experience.
A number of films cover all aspects of the Pier’s history. School children can operate the levers in the signal box as well as operate the slot machines with old pennies.
Arranging the Visit
Up to two teaching staff are invited to make a free pre-arranged visit, to the Museum to discuss the requirements for their group.
The school group can be to a maximum of 30 pupils plus 10 teaching/support staff. (The maximum group size the Museum can permit is 40 persons in total).
We suggest that visits are most suitable for key stage 2 students and above. We recommend 30-45 minutes per visit.
