For Schools

Primary school visits

The Education Team at the barn have devised a number of 'experience' days which link specifically to KS2 National Curriculum topics or as a Local History Study.


  • Tudor Experience
  • Victorian School Experience
  • Evacuee Experience


We also offer a workshop session on Chronology - Nailsea Through Time which covers a range of periods from 1480.  We can also work with you to create bespoke visits on request.
