Schools, Clubs and Educational Visits.

DUE TO BUILDING WORKS ON SITE
SCHOOL VISITS ARE CURRENTLY WITHDRAWN
(UNTIL A REVIEW IN EARLY SPRING 2024)
GUIDED TOURS FOR OLDER GROUPS ARE STILL AVAILABLE

The Museum, apart from being a fun place to visit, is also an educational resource where ‘hands on’ experience can reinforce classroom learning illustrating not only the history of railways themselves but also how they affected the social history of the country and changed the way many people lived their lives.

Tours are designed around the age of pupils this is offered on Wednesdays when most volunteers are available.
“Early years” visiting are of a “Showover” nature, where less detailed information is given. As a condition of booking groups are asked to arrive with some pre-arranged element, this can be delivered in our classroom.
 
Years 4 to 6 will have a tour guide assigned, who will be able to deliver greater educational content. It would be useful if these groups can easily be divided into groups of 15 on arrival. Greater access may then be possible to more operational areas. Guides stay and assist learning for the duration of the visit.

SCHOOL VISIT COSTS

Costs of these visits is £4.50 per child Teachers, assisting carers and are free.
Further Adult helpers are admitted free for each group of 15 children. Any further Adults then pay standard admission price

As a bonus, each visiting child will receive a complimentary child ticket to return on any other non-event day for free.

CLUBS AND ORGANISATIONS

Do you run a club?
The East Anglian Railway Museum has plenty of space for clubs and youth groups of any sort, from biking clubs and classic cars through to cubs, scouts and beavers looking for a bit of space to earn their activity badges.
We have rooms available, which are ideal for use as class rooms or meeting rooms, and can include a tour of the Museum and a basic catering or a packed lunch too.
There is also a field adjacent to the meeting rooms that is suitable for all manner of activities, from classic car shows to sporting events.
