Home Education Visits

We offer regular learning workshops for home educated families, delivered by our experienced Education Officer Gemma Martin. The workshops explore themes connected with our local heritage through cross-curricular activities, offering opportunities to engage with a range of creative arts, STEM challenges, history, geography and creative writing.

Places for the workshops are limited so that we can offer safe, fun and meaningful activities. Please book in advance below.

In order to best suit the needs of families, we offer two groups that are age specific - check to see which would best suit you and your family.

Timing: 10.30am – 2.30pm with a break for lunch from approximately 12.15pm-1.00pm

Thursday Family Workshops: for mixed age family groups (from babes in arms up to teens)

Timings: 10.30am – 2.30pm with a break for lunch from approximately 12.15pm-1.00pm

    Our museum

    China clay mining has shaped the landscape, lives of people and economy of mid-Cornwall for over 250 years. It is Cornwall’s largest mining industry. A fully Accredited Museum, we are based within two Victorian china clay works, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. We tell the story of this fascinating industry and the people who worked and lived in the shadows of Cornwall’s iconic ‘white pyramids’.
