School Visit
Brunel’s SS Great Britain is an ideal location for a day out of the classroom.
The historic ship, Being Brunel, Dockyard Museum and beneath the “sea” in the Dry Dock capture the imagination with lots to see, hear, touch and even smell!
As part of your school visit, you can book interactive workshops and guided tours; a wide range of free resources are available to support pre- and post-visit learning.
We’re currently taking bookings for the 24/25 academic year. We can run up to 3 workshops a day, Tuesday to Friday (Sept-Feb) and Monday to Friday (Mar-Jul) (subject to availability).

“The best trip we’ve ever been on! Absolutely fantastic.” – KS1 class teacher
We are delighted to share that Brunel’s SS Great Britain has been award a Sandford Award for heritage learning.
The external assessors praised the “excellent education service which makes use of the spirit of innovation and experiment of the ship’s original designer. Experiential learning opportunities are offered to schools including designing and planning, building, problem solving, re-enacting and discussing. Pupils will leave refreshed, inspired and astonished”.
Please note that we now have very limited workshop availability between mid January and the end of March for schools wishing to have two or more workshops on the same day. However, there is good workshop availability from April onwards.
