Victorian Leamington
This cross curricular trip brings to life the story of Leamington, it's Spa water and circus elephants. It includes an entertaining tour of the Royal Pump Rooms and their gardens, characters dressed in historic costumes, Victorian games and a craft. You can choose from Victorian toy making or pottery elephants. A 'must' trip for any local child who will leave with an understanding of how our town grew into what it is today.

Animation
Have a tour of our artworks and then use tablets and software to create stop motion animation films. A fun and creative way of bringing our collection to life and perhaps giving children a taste for a career as a film maker!

Pottery
An introduction to shape and form, giving an opportunity to look at objects in the gallery and museum and then explore various pottery techniques. A chance to be creative and messy!

Welly Walk at the Royal Pump Rooms - aimed at early years!
Come and enjoy a stomp in the park, go on the 'elephant walk' and discover the amazing wildlife and trees in the park. Enjoy a fantastic educational experience on your doorstep including a mini beast trail and outdoor sculpture with a Learning & Engagement Assistant.
