Museum Sessions

Interact, dress up and explore the rich history Ipswich has to offer.

Our sessions involve a mixture of elements including story tours by trained Museum Assistants, teacher-led activities and free time to explore the galleries.

For museum workshops at Christchurch Mansion (not self-led visits) and for Roadshow workshops in your school, all bookings must be confirmed a minimum of 4 weeks in advance of the date of your workshop.

For more updates about our museum sessions, teachers can also sign up to our schools mailing list.

In the background is an outdoor setting with trees. To the right is a thatched-roof building made of wooden planks, resembling an ancient or medieval dwelling. In the bottom left corner, a circular inset shows a step-by-step process of recreating a decorative shield or medallion, starting from a design sketch to the final embossed, gold-coloured piece with red accents.
