Lancaster City Museums are working with our partners to develop brand new resources for teachers and experiences for pupils. These will support learning local history in context with regional and national history.

Themes for 2024 include:

• Transatlantic Slave Trade (KS2)

Find out more about our Lancaster Slave Trade school city tours (guided or self-led) developed in partnership with Facing the Past by downloading the flyer below.

• There’s a Saxon in my School! Sessions: Anglo-Saxon & Viking Life (KS2)
