The Learning & Community team works with groups of people within the local community supporting them to feel more involved in their local history and more comfortable with visiting the museum.

This is done through working on joint projects, running activity sessions both onsite and offsite, attending local events, and providing tours and facilities for visitors.

Tried historic sports with kids from Palacefields Revamped gardens at Hallowood Park and Murdishaw Experimented with art with a men's Recharge group Got Halton to Get Growing with a gardens and food project (find out more!)
