The Heritage Centre has been designed to appeal to children, with many hand-on objects and interactives, and to support the National Curriculum.

‘We were greeted and looked after so warmly… the colourful work-cards helped them to look much more closely at the exhibits and the interactives were very popular. Very many thanks for putting so much thought and work into our visit and for giving children a lot of educational fun.’
