At Hampshire Cultural Trust, we welcome Home School families to our venues for self-led visits throughout the year. We also offer a series of dedicated home education days in which we invite you to travel in time to enjoy an immersive learning experience led by our expert team of facilitators. The sessions take the format of our curriculum-based workshops, though they are more relaxed so that a wider age range of learners can attend with siblings as required.
Things to know prior to booking:
- All children must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them at all times including during facilitated workshops
- * In the event of an emergency, you are responsible for the children in your group
- * We require at least one adult for every 3 children who will receive a complimentary adult ticket
- * You are responsible for the supervision and behaviour of your children at all times
- * If you are looking to book younger/ older siblings into the sessions, please be aware that the content may not be pitched at their current learning level.
- * Food and drinks are not permitted anywhere on the Gosport Museum learning rooms
- * Mobile phones and photography are strictly prohibited within the session due to safeguarding
- * Our facilitators reserve the right to ask participants to leave if their behaviour is deemed unsafe or inappropriate for the setting
- * We advise that participants take a comfort break before the session begins as children can not be left unsupervised while their accompanying adult takes one child to the toilet.
