What our visitors say

We welcome feedback from our visitors, here are some of the things that our visitors have said about their trips to the Heritage Centres.

"We recently visited the Heritage Centre in September 2019 with a group of children from our Federation Schools, Marston Montgomery and Long Lane. So that we had a memorable experience, the volunteers and staff planned every detail. Safety and safeguarding, which is the main concern of teachers on such a visit, was paramount."

"Highlights for the children were: the opportunity to get “hands-on” with STEM by making a model of an engine, discovering facts about the huge range of engines exhibited and last but not least, being able to sit in a bomber. Some said they would have loved to have been a pilot or navigator at that time, although others felt that they wouldn’t have enjoyed being in such a small space for up to 8 hours at a time!"

"Thank you to the team for making it such a success for both the pupils and the staff."
