School Visits & Tours
School Visits
Site tours for local schools can be booked to take place on weekdays.
We are keen to develop a STEAM based programme of activities with local schools based upon our ‘Toilet Story,’ artistic pottery and local history.
Tours
A guided tour of the museum will be available to book and will include the newly reinterpreted interior and the listed architecture of the outside buildings to include the bottle kiln.
The National Forest
VISIT SOUTH DERBYSHIRE
Visit South Derbyshire is your guide to South Derbyshire and the National Forest. Here you will information about what’s on, things to do, places to stay and where to eat, drink and shop. There are also interactive maps, walking trails and cycling routes.
Heritage Trails
The local history archive, The Magic Attic, contains a vast number of photographs and resources from Swadlincote’s past.
These, along with research and photos from individuals, have been used to create a Heritage Trail around Swadlincote in two parts – Swadlincote Town Centre and Swadlincote Villages (Church Gresley, Midway, Newhall, Woodville and Hartshorne).
