Educational Visits

The Food Museum is a place where your pupils and students can enjoy informative and fun learning experiences that will help them understand the role that food has played in shaping our history and culture.

We offer pre-booked, self-led free visits that allow you and your pupils to explore the Museum and our 84-acre site. We also offer bookable Learning Sessions that are led by experienced and knowledgeable members of our Learning Team.  These Learning Sessions have been developed to further enrich classroom learning. We use our landscape, buildings, and our collections to bring a range of subjects to life. Our food-based sessions allow your pupils and students to get more hands-on with how food is grown, produced, cooked, and eaten.

 

We're Open – Please be aware that we have building work happening on site. Come and see the exciting changes happening at the Museum.

Our magnificent Medieval Barn is temporarily closed for repairs and will reopen in June 2026.

The House remains open while exterior works take place, before closing in 2027 for renovations — reopening with fresh exhibitions about food-making in the home.

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