Self-directed visits for groups and schools

Whether you’re a school group or a group of friends, why not take a self-guided trip around our fascinating collections?

All organised groups need to book before visiting our venues – so we can make sure there’s space for you to have an inspiring day out.

Self-directed visits don’t feature any activities delivered by our team, but they’re a great way for your group to explore a chosen theme or topic.
