We welcome visits from Secondary, Higher and Further Education groups. The stunningly detailed period rooms, combined with the story of Elizabeth Gaskell as a writer, public figure and private person provides a unique and engaging visit for learners of all ages and ability.

Book one of our Primary workshops for KS3 and upwards – these hands on, interactive sessions can be adapted to learners of all ages and support history, literacy and drama.

You can also:

Book a self guided visit on a normal public open day.

Arrange a bespoke learning activity for your group.

Book a private tour with one of our experienced guides (* Colleges and universities only. Different price applies.)

Speak to our Learning Team for more information as this is an area we are still developing. We can provide supporting material on a variety of topics, including Elizabeth Gaskell and her novels, the restoration of 84 Plymouth Grove and the family life of Elizabeth Gaskell. Key areas we can support include: Victorian literature, architecture, history and heritage, art and design, tourism and leisure.
