There are many educational activities and opportunities provided for schools by the Museum of Lakeland Life. Please contact us for further information about our children's workshops, talks, activity sheets, and loan boxes. We also have a fantastic collection of child-size replica costumes that are available for schools to borrow. These include Tudor, Victorian and even 1970s costume!

Many children make their first visit to a museum as part of an organised school group. In order to encourage you to make full use of our rich supply of resources, we offer school groups FREE VISITS.

The Trust invites teachers to book a free preliminary visit where you can meet a member of the education department and discuss when you are coming and what you will be doing. The following information explains how to book a FREE VISIT to the gallery and gives guidelines concerning your visit. Please contact the education department to book a visit.

• THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF FREE VISITS WHICH CAN BE BOOKED IN ONE YEAR.
• Free visits may be booked for any school party of children aged under 18 years and in full time education.
• All free visits MUST be pre-booked in order to avoid overcrowding.
• There must be one responsible adult (admission free) for every 10 children.
  
• Free visits are unguided but talks and workshops are available for a charge.
