FACILITATED VISIT

A facilitated visit normally lasts from 10am-2pm and consists of 3 sessions. Workshops are held in our education suite and we provide a space for lunch.

Activities include:

• Hands-on activities using real-life stories, from those who were there, and artefacts used by Bomber Command in World War II. Our workshops focus on remembrance, sacrifice, suffering and bravery and help bring to life the events of the era.
• Access to our exhibition. This uses interactive displays activities and first-hand experiences to tell the story of Bomber Command and those affected by their actions.
• A guided tour of our Spire, Memorial Walls and Peace Gardens with an expert tour guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were delighted with the variety of the activities and tasks that you involved the students with.  It was over and above what we had envisaged or expected.  For this we are truly grateful and hope that you too enjoyed hosting our students during the week.

Brilliant – what a fantastic facility! Thank you to the volunteers.  Loved it! Great introduction to WW11. The children thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you! The Richmond School 2023

It was a real privilege to visit and the sessions you provided were excellent… I think it is something other schools would benefit from. Wellingborough School, 2021

They enjoyed everything, the stories, seeing the artefacts, the simulation. I wish we could spend longer there, they would happily stay to learn more. Primary school, 2021
