Visiting The Devil’s Porridge Museum is a great opportunity to get children out of the classroom, igniting your pupils imagination with our fascinating historical collections and interesting and fun activities.
We offer facilitated sessions led by our experienced museum staff and volunteers, with visits tailored for First Level and Second Level Students (Key Stage 1 and 2 in England).
Our sessions link to multiple curriculum areas, supporting cross curricular learning and enriching pupils knowledge in a fun and interactive way. Our visit themes below can be tailored depending on your school needs.
Our workshops are engaging and hands-on, with the opportunity to see and touch real historical artefacts, try on clothing and uniforms, and carry out some wartime tasks. Pupils might also roleplay mixing munitions, learn a song in the Anderson shelter, or sound the air raid siren.
