Workshops at Ely Museum

If you are studying history or geography, Ely Museum probably has a workshop for you. Have a go at ancient art in our Prehistory workshop, play with Victorian toys, listen to traditional fenland tales, become a World War 2 evacuee – whatever your historical period (almost!), Ely Museum can bring the past to life for your class. Ely and the Fens have a rich heritage. Most of our workshops tell a unique local story which helps children relate to and appreciate the area they live in.
See below for a full list of our workshops.
