Arts & Culture

Welcome to Touchstones’ Creative Learning Programme for the 2023/2024 academic year.

With Touchstones currently closed for redevelopment, we’re delighted to still be able to offer a full education programme, providing a relevant and inspiring offer for both teachers and pupils.

Alongside our redeveloped Discovery Boxes, with all new themes to tie into the current curriculum, we also have facilitator-led sessions for Key Stages 1 and 2, and can offer bespoke art and local history sessions for Key Stages 1-3.

Discovery Boxes

Our boxes help to bring history to life in your classroom. Each box contains original or replica objects for students to handle plus activity ideas for teachers and links to online resources.

Boxes are available to hire for a two week period. They can only be booked one term in advance and are subject to high demand.
