Guided tours are available throughout the exhibition for groups of ten or more full-time students. Our gallery educators engage students through careful observation, discussion and telling stories, all with the goal of encouraging students to develop their own ideas and opinions about works of art. Free guided tours can be booked on Mondays at 9 am, 10.30 am, 12 noon and 2 pm, Tuesdays at 10.30 am, 12 noon and 2 pm, and Thursdays at 10.30 am and 12 noon.
Self-guided visits for primary schools (11 years and under) are free and for secondary schools (12+ years) are £2.50 per student/teacher for groups of 10 or more full-time students. An early morning private view on Mondays at 9 am can also be booked, a rare opportunity to view our exhibitions without the crowds.
From 10.15 am–1 pm. These consist of an interactive slide talk, a visit to the galleries led by artist-educators and a practical session where students can create works of art inspired by the exhibition they have seen and the ideas they have explored.
Please note that all workshops are now fully booked
