Home Education Day

On Monday, 1 December, Brunel’s SS Great Britain will be open exclusively for Home Educating families to discover more about Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the SS Great Britain’s links to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

We invite you to book additional, educational activities for your children throughout the day after you choose your main tickets. We will also ask you the child’s age and whether they have any additional needs. If booking several activities, please make sure the times do not overlap – you will be able to see a recap of your booking before paying.

Important information

> Workshops are led by a member of the Education Team and are structured learning sessions that include elements of group work.

> We want to accommodate as many children as possible in our workshops, so we prefer not to exceed a 1:1 ratio for adults to children.

> For charged activities prices apply for all children attending (including older or younger siblings).

> Please bear in mind that workshop/show/tour content might not be engaging for children older or younger than the suggested key stage, and restless behaviour can impact the enjoyment of others in the audience. Please consider this when booking older or younger children into sessions.

> Please arrive at the specific location of your activity 10 minutes before the session is due to start, we can’t admit late arrivals as it disrupts the session.

> Due to space limitations, we cannot accommodate buggies in the Medlock Education Centre during workshops for this event. There will be a signposted space in the Dockyard Museum where they can be left.  

> Bringing a packed lunch? We have a covered picnic area available for you to use throughout the day.
