Schools & Learning

Bring learning to life with Weston Museum’s hands-on learning resources and sessions. The museum has a wide range to offer schools, home educators, and community groups with learning about local history.

Covid 19 Update – Weston Museum’s Learning Programme is currently operating in a slightly different way during the pandemic. The offer may change in response to government guidance, but many resources are still available in either a hireable or digital format. Please contact the learning team to see how we can support your history learning at this time by emailing museum@wsm-tc.gov.uk
