What’s Involved

Let the museum come to you and get hands on with history at your own pace. Use this curated box of handling objects to spark conversations about seaside attractions, activities and treats as well as landscape features, weather and seasons.

‍

Relive the heydays of Britain’s great seaside holidays and think about what seaside self-care means to us now. Perfect for use with groups to spark memories of days gone by, and use in schools to explore aspects of Geography, English, History and PSHE curriculum.
