Our home educator sessions
Our home education sessions for this academic year will be monthly with majority afternoon sessions in response to visitor feedback. This means that most schools will have left the building so after the programming, the exhibit floor will be a much calmer space.
On each afternoon there'll be a programme of workshops or shows from the education programme.
We will also be launching the 25-26 programme with am and pm sessions in September and October, when space will also be reserved in our picnic area, so you can bring packed lunches and there will be less schools visiting us.
As home educators and home educated children, you pay a reduced price for entry to We The Curious when visiting during term time.
How to book:
You'll be able to book and pay for your day online.
You’ll need a day ticket to We The Curious for everyone in your group.
Once you've selected your day tickets, you’ll have the option to select workshops.
Please note that the person booking the ticket also needs to be the responsible adult accompanying the children on the day and in the workshops.
In response to feedback, we have a reduced capacity for each workshop, so we need everyone who'll be in the room to have a workshop ticket.
This includes any accompanying children who aren't participating, and all accompanying adults. Please minimise the number of accompanying adults and children attending the sessions as this will impact the available number of tickets for participants.
Need to know:
- All children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult at all times, including in our workshops.
- Please arrive at the education suite on the first floor 10 minutes before your workshop start time. To make sure everyone has a good learning experience, we can’t admit any late arrivals once a workshop has started.
- Unfortunately we can't accommodate children who aren't participating in the 'DNA Detectives' and 'Colourful Chemistry' workshops as they take place in the laboratory.
- Workshop tickets will only be on sale until 2pm the day before the workshops and on the day walk-ups will not be available for the workshops.
Planetarium shows
Planetarium shows are available as part of our public schedule on the day, but these need to be booked separately. You can call us on 0117 915 1000 or email our team at education.bookings@wethecurious.org to add a planetarium show to your home education day or subject to availability, you can book on the day.
