We offer Group visits to the Heritage Centre, and can tailor these to the audience based on age, expertise and specific interest. We are recognised as a Dementia Friendly venue by the Alzheimers Society.
School visits are welcome, and we have much to offer regarding British and local history which fit the Curriculum for Key Stages 2 and 3. Where possible we offer the opportunity for hands on experiences with historical artefacts.
Our most popular walks explore the local ghosts and folklore, and the town's links to Dracula. Would you like the opportunity to stand in Dracula's front garden or learn how to avoid the lantern men?
Details of upcoming walks are below, or, if you have sufficient numbers, can be pre-booked for other dates. Contact us to sign up.
