Our philosophy is Life long learning
The Museum works with schools, adult special need groups, senior citizens groups as well as local history societies and groups. The new Ferrers Community Room, pictured above, provides the children with a dedicated learning space big enough for a full class and allows evening classes and lectures to take place.
We have a wide range of expertise in working with educational groups.
We have many school groups visit us for curriculum work and we are able to loan objects and educator's boxes (e.g. on the 17th Century and World War II) to schools to support classroom work. We also have 30 replica 17th century costumes for children to use at the museum or for schools to borrow. We are presently producing leaflets and worksheets for children to use in the two galleries.
We work with disability groups in the museum and we have experience of reminiscence work with older people.
We are also a useful base for educational groups wishing to visit Ashby Castle and Grace Dieu Priory.
Local history groups often visit us for talks, museum visits or
guided walks
around Ashby-de-la-Zouch. If you wish to use us for your educational work contact
the Museum by phoning 01530 560090 during opening hours or emailing ashbydelazouchmuseum@live.com
