The Charles Dickens Museum welcomes Home Education groups Wednesday-Friday for self led visits or to book a group onto one of our KS1-KS4 learning sessions

In order to facilitate Home Education groups we will require that organisers ensure that:-

• There is no more than a three-year gap between the age of the oldest and the youngest child taking part in the booked session.
• A maximum of 5 adults can accompany the group while taking part in a learning workshop. These adults would need to stay with the group throughout the session and it is their responsibility to monitor the behaviour of of all students in the group.
• The maximum number of children who can take part in a workshop is 30 - there is flexibility as to the minimum number of children.

Organisers should be aware that:

• Any other adult guardians/carers who wish to visit the museum at the same time will need to pay for their own tickets (£12.50 each) and make an independent visit while they wait for the group to complete their session.
• Younger siblings can be brought along and we do not charge entry for children under 6, however they would not be able to join in with the session.
• Additional children not taking part, aged between 6-16, would need their own entry tickets - £7.50 each.

Costs:
