How to book visits and workshops
For questions and bookings, please email or call us on +44 (0)20 7942 6177.
All of our workshops are available to book. Each workshop needs a minimum of 10 children and each child can attend one workshop. We recommend grouping children by age or working level so they can attend the most suitable workshop.
We ask for a few adults to volunteer as group leaders within the workshop and may ask for some adults and younger children to remain in the galleries due to the size of the room.
For workshops and general visits, we recommend booking at least six weeks in advance.
When booking please provide the following details:
- Lead organiser and contact details
- Number of children and number of children in each age group
- Number of adults
- Workshop
- Arrival and departure time
- Special or mobility needs
