Learn From The Best On A Study Day

Are you after an interesting day out that will not only teach you something, but will allow you to handle ancient artefacts and experience the past in the company of an expert? Why not consider enjoying one of our Study Days?

We have a broad selection of day-long, expert-led experiences on offer for 2021, so why not get your new year plans off to a fascinating start and treat yourself to a place.
