Thoughts for Food

At the Food Museum we help people learn more about food. Where it comes from, how it’s made, the role it’s played down the centuries in shaping how we live our lives. 

Part of the way we do this is by working with schools and other educational providers. We’re highly experienced in designing visits that educate, engage and entertain, in a way that really brings a subject to life. From tailor-made museum-led learning sessions to hands-on experiences, we really get down to the roots of a subject and serve up something special. Find out more by using the links below.

The House will remain open whilst exterior works take place before closing during 2027 for renovations, reopening with fresh exhibitions about food-making in the home.

The Factory is closed from November 2025 through March 2027 as we create brand new displays about industrial food production, accessible visitor toilets, and a stunning first-floor events space.
