During the winter teachers are invited to bring classes of children along to the last exhibition of the season, which remains in place until early the next year . During 1997/8 visitng schools were offered three activities based around "The Victorians": a handling session with the Curator, a tour of the display and a Victorian lession with a Victorian teacher provided by the Centre. The theme for autumn and winter 1998/9 will be based on the display of paintings by a locally born Victorian artist: William Ewart Lockhart and will probably focus on Victorian jobs, family life and travel.

Enquiries from teachers are always welcome with regard to local history resources.
