Based in the Tithe Barn we aim to deliver a high quality learning provision through a varied range of services including workshops for schools and events.
The history of St Mary’s can be used with a wide range of other contexts to generate engaging learning pathways. Tudor clothing, food, music, childhood and pastimes, medieval and Tudor medicine, history of St Mary’s Priory as told by a monk and a visit to the Abbot’s Garden. It also therefore provides a particularly rich context for cross-curricular and skills focussed work.
Our aim is simply to engage new and diverse audiences and promote the heritage of the St Mary’s Priory both in the local and wider community. The underlying principal in all our work will be active learning with an appropriate measure of fun!
In a new initiative we are holding a day for home schoolers on June 22nd from 10am.
