Have you heard about our upcoming exhibition, Scho

Have you heard about our upcoming exhibition, School Dinners? Our team has been busy preparing for its launch!

Since October 2024, we’ve been running our first Young Curators programme in partnership with @museumofthehome, @quadraminstitute, the School Meals Project, and @chefsinschools, with funding from @heritagefunduk. Designed to give 15-18-year-olds hands-on experience in museums, the participants have worked alongside professionals, academics, and food experts to research and shape this exhibition.

The final session of this year’s programme took place on Saturday, with participants helping to install sections of the exhibition. Afterwards, participants, parents, and staff came together at the museum to celebrate their work with food and drink. 🎉

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the School Dinners exhibition, but if you’re curious about the talented young people behind the project, you can read their blog articles on our website now!

Last few spaces available on our Family Forest School tomorrow morning! Family Forest School is a more relaxed drop-in style session where adults are a part of the fun and take an active role in sessions. This is great for children with special education needs or who need more support, as well as an opportunity for children and carers to learn together!
