The museums service is committed to providing an exciting, hands-on experience that is both relevant to the National Curriculum and popular schemes of work for History and Art. Activities and supporting materials for all key stages can be tailor-made to meet teachers' requirements. Teachers have the option to lead sessions themselves or may choose to use the Education officer for which a small charge is made.

Information Packs & Worksheets

Dedicated worksheets and information packs containing teacher's guidance notes are being developed in order to provide additional support and structure to pupils' visits to museum collections and sites within our care.

Outreach

A limited collection of objects based on domestic themes is available for loan to schools and community groups. However, users are strongly encouraged to book a workshop session with the Museum's Education Officer who will bring a number of objects on a chosen topic or theme to the school or community premises and then lead or support object handling workshop sessions in co-operation with teachers/ organisers. In this way, both specialist support and a wider range of objects may be made available to you.

Additional Facilities

A café and toilets are available at the Castle. A room can also be made available for the eating of packed lunches at the Castle providing this is requested at time of booking.

Charges

£20 One led session with no limit on the number of children you can bring. Free admission to Cyfarthfa Castle & Joseph Parry’s Cottage.
