The Higgins is currently closed for a major redevelopment programme designed to redesign and redisplay all the galleries so we are unable to welcome school visits at present. Instead we are offering the following outreach sessions in schools up to one hour’s drive away.  

Toys of the Past explores how toys from the past differ from today’s toys and gives children the chance to play with reproduced traditional and optical toys.

Toys before Batteries explores in more detail the design and technology of moving toys and is aimed at older KS1 pupils. Children play with reproduced traditional and optical toys.

For further information and to book an outreach visit from us please phone 01234 718627.
