Home Educators' Workshops: Ages 6-10

Discover our programme of workshops aimed at children aged 6-10.

From taking an in-depth look at a selection of the 30,000 objects in our collection in The Stores, handling objects like a curator and completing short interactive activities, to finding out the untold history of Darlington, its association with the railways and how we tell this pioneering history, there's plenty of workshops to complement your home educating programme.

Workshops are followed by one hours play in Wagon Woods.
