About the event

✏ Help shape our new home education programme!


Join us for a free family session featuring creative crafts, museum mystery object handling, and the chance to help shape a brand-new programme for home-educating families across Calderdale Museums.


We're developing a new range of workshops, activities and learning opportunities, and we'd love to hear from the people who will use them. Come along, enjoy some free activities, and share your ideas about the subjects, formats and experiences you'd like to see in future home education sessions.


You'll also have the opportunity to hear about our plans for a series of free pilot workshops in the New Year, which will be shaped by what we learn from these consultation events.


Whether you're a regular museum visitor or have never joined us before, your views can help us create a programme that meets the needs and interests of home-educating families.

📍 Beechwood Road Library, Monday 16 November, 1pm - 3pm

📍 Bankfield Museum, Wednesday 18 November, 10am - 12pm
