We offer loads of ways for school groups to engage with us, with expert-led activities and workshops.

Our learning officer will lead you on a guided walk around the town, and then follow up with a Zoom session back in your classroom:
£4 per child (accompanying adults free)
Walk consisting of four stopping points covering St Neots Priory, early people and the river, the Market Square, and Old Hall Place or St Mary’s Church
