We offer free admission for school visits on Wednesdays (pre-booking is required). Groups of up to 30 including teachers and assistants can be accommodated.
A guided tour of up to 2 hours can be provided as part of your visit, this can be tailored to different age groups and worksheets are available below.
You are welcome to bring your own food, but please arrange this beforehand so that we can accommodate you. Refreshments may be purchased from the Tea Room.
If you have to complete a risk assessment for your group or class in line with your organisation's policy please note that the Museum cannot do the risk assessment for you. You are strongly advised to make a preliminary visit to the Museum to conduct your own risk assessment. It will also assist your planning of the learning experiences our collections and conducted tour can provide.
The Museum is approximately a 10 minute walk from Queens Road Metrolink Station. Turn left out of Queens Road Metrolink Station and walk along Queens Road. Cross Queens Road at the second Pelican Crossing and then turn next right onto Boyle Street and we are at the far end on the right, beyond First Manchester's bus garage.
