School and Education Groups

Bring your class along to St Andrews Preservation Trust Museum. Learn about the social history of our historic town, from how to mix and grind herbs in the Chemist Shop to weighing out a pound of butter in Aikman & Terras the Grocers Shop. We can also show the children how to roll their sleeves up and wash clothes in “Great-Grannie’s Wash-house”. There are a number of displays and artefacts to encourage children’s learning and stimulate their imagination.

We can adapt our workshops for online learning via Microsoft Teams Live. Safeguarding is paramount and participating classes would only see the presenter and questions can be asked after the session. We are more than happy to provide worksheets for you to continue learning in the classroom!
