School Workshops

Workshops for schools and groups within Tameside’s Museums and galleries.

Tameside Council Cultural Services offer inspirational learning, which is central to what we do. Our facilities and collections are superb and schools are constantly inspired by the large number of learning programs we deliver. Our service is a marvellous advocate for learning and we strive to provide the best, most exciting and engaging service we can.

We work hard with our teachers, pupils, students and families to ensure our offer meets your expectations. Wherever possible we work in partnership with other organisations to deliver and fund our learning offer.
