In Museum Sessions for Home Educated Children

New dates coming up

Venue: Reading Museum

Reading Museum is piloting a series of formal learning sessions for home educated children.

Families will be able to book their children for the sessions through our ticketing system.

Please note:

We will set a deadline for booking each session: if at least 20 children are booked in by the deadline, we will confirm the session and send each family instructions. If the minimum number is not reached, unfortunately we will not be able to go ahead and all tickets will be refunded in full.

  • Price per child (minimum age: 5) - £6.50 
  • Accompanying adults and children less than 5 year old will enter for free but will not be able to take part in the sessions. 

We hope that this new format will allow more home schooled children to enjoy learning in our Museum and we look forward to offering more sessions in the future. 

For information please email museum.education@reading.gov.uk
