Join the Learning and Engagement Team at the Museum of Archaeology for a hands-on Home Education Day exploring the fascinating world of the Ancient Greeks.

Designed for home-educated children aged 6 to 12, these engaging workshops combine object handling, creative activities and performance to bring the ancient world to life.

During the session, participants will:

  • Handle real and replica Ancient Greek objects
  • Explore the museum through a gallery quiz trail
  • Create a Greek-inspired clay object to take home
  • Take part in a fun Greek-themed performance activity

Session Times

To help accommodate different schedules, the same workshop will run twice during the day:

  • Morning Session: 10:00am to 12:00pm 
  • Afternoon Session: 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Please book one session only, as both sessions contain the same activities.
