At Salford Museum & Art Gallery, we offer a programme of regular, engaging sessions specially designed for home educated children. These sessions provide a relaxed and inspiring learning environment, using our collections, exhibitions and creative activities to support curiosity, discussion and hands-on learning.
Each session is led by experienced staff and is designed to encourage exploration, creativity and critical thinking, while also offering opportunities to socialise with other home educated families.
Booking information
Places must be booked in advance using the links below. Spaces are limited and our previous sessions sold out quickly, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
Siblings can join the session for free when they come along with a participating child.
We look forward to welcoming you and your children to learn, explore and create with us.
