Self-led visits

Our museum is an ideal site for exploring topics in History, Art and Design, English and Local History. There is no set route through the galleries, giving you the freedom to explore the topics and periods that are most relevant to your group.

Admission to the museum is free.

Pre-visit familiarization

We strongly recommend that group leaders organising a visit for the first time make a planning visit to the museum. This will allow you to explore the museum’s layout and plan the logistics of your group’s visit.

To book your familiarisation visit please contact the Fort Nelson Education Department.

Notes for organisers

Please use the maps and risk assessments provided in the Organisers’ Pack.

Leaders of school groups should adhere to Hampshire County Council’s pupil/teacher ratio guidelines of 1 adult to 10 children.

In order to provide the best possible experience for your group it is important that you book in advance. This enables us to give you an overview of our facilities, a health and safety briefing and arrange parking for your coach.

Information leaflets and more detailed guides are available from the Museum shop.

To book please visit contact the Fort Nelson Education Department:
