New School Sessions Available!

Harborough Museum now offers a new school session – ‘The Hallaton Treasure and the Romans’. It draws upon the new resources of the Treasure Gallery, including Iron Age and Roman coins, brooches, helmets and a Roman mosaic. The new session includes a storytelling session led by the museum’s very own Iron Age lady, Seren. The exciting interactive tale is set in AD 43 and tells of a local tribe’s encounters with the Roman invaders.
Following the storytelling session children can take part in a range of activities:
  • Make a Roman helmet to take home.
  • Excavate the museum’s archaeology sandpit.
  • Try on replica Roman and Iron Age clothes.
  • Investigate the Treasure Gallery.
Material for follow-up sessions in the classroom will be provided. Includes:
  • Full-length version of the story as featured in the workshop.
  • Supporting information on the period.
The workshop is aimed at Key Stages 1 & 2 and has cross-curricula links.
All of your old favourites are still there too with sessions on Remembrance, Tudors, Toys, How we used to live and Harborough Then and Now.
To book please phone us on 01858 821085, email HarboroughMuseum@leics.gov.uk or complete the Online School Booking Form.

Please note that there is a charge of £1.50 per child for all school sessions.
