For Primary Schools

Create a structure for your visit that suits your students.

Immerse yourself in our Buddhist objects, explore Ancient Egypt, travel to Asia through our Japanese collection or be inspired to create your own cyphers and codes with the Jacobites. A visit to Chiddingstone Castle provides a myriad of opportunities for all to explore, engage and be inspired.

During your visit you can join our Curator, Naomi Collick on a tour through the collections. Naomi will help you unlock fun facts and interesting anecdotes.

As part of a group booking, the Goodhugh Room provides dedicated space for breakout activities, group discussions, munching lunch (although we recommend finding a spot somewhere in the grounds if the weather is good!) and storing stuff.

When you make a booking we offer a complimentary pre-visit for your teacher to help you plan your day to suit you and to take full advantage of the Castle as your classroom.

Book a visit to learn more about what we offer.
