We offer a wide range of loan boxes that can be used with groups, schools, in care homes, hospitals, or just at home with family and friends.

Each box is packed with objects, information and activities, some that link to the National Curriculum and others that are perfect for reminiscence.

If you’re not sure which box is best for you, just give us a call.

Charges

Loan boxes cost £41 per week for schools or £7 per day for community groups.

Please note: All Loan boxes need to be collected from and returned to Portland basin Museum. As these loan boxes are part of our handling collection, from time to time we may need to remove or replace some objects.
