Education & Outreach

Our aim is to encourage as many different audiences as possible to enjoy the rich collections of the Art Gallery & Museum.

We welcome visitors with young children and offer free discovery sheets, gallery trails and special drop-in activity days.

We lead workshops for schools, tailor-made to enrich and support the national curriculum in lively, meaningful and accessible ways. You can download our brochure Come and enjoy the Learning Power of Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum (PDF Format).

We plan programmes of practical workshops to help children and adults explore and develop their creative skills.

We can take collections out to local residental homes and day centres to inspire conversation and shared memories.
