english heritage visits

Did you know that English Heritage offers free visits for schools and educational groups to encourage learning about our history and heritage?


Schools and other types of educational groups such as cub-scouts and brownies, Further Education (FE) colleges and adult education groups can visit the properties free of charge by submitting the educational visit booking forms available on the English Heritage website.

In addition, English Heritage runs “Discovery Visits” for schools – an exciting range of site-based workshops and interactive tours that look at history and reveal the cross-curricular promise of the historic sites. Enjoy sessions led by specialist educators and site staff that bring our buildings and landscapes to life.

Find out more about free educational visits and discovery visits to English Heritage properties from the English Heritage website.

English Heritage not only records and protects England’s historic environment, it ensures that the public are able to appreciate and enjoy the historic sites in their care. It is the largest source of non-lottery grant funding for historic buildings and ancient monuments, conservation areas, archaeological sites, cathedrals and churches.

We provide grant-in-aid to English Heritage.
