Booking Information

Making a booking:

Step 1: Choose which session/s interests you

Step 2: Call the booking line with some possible dates

Step 3: Book your visit

Step 4: Download related teachers resource pack/s

Step 5: Check the booking form sent to you & confirm your visit by returning it to the museum

Provisional bookings can be made by telephone. You will be more likely to get your date and session of choice if you are able to give as much notice as possible.

Even if you do not wish to have an active learning session, you must book your visit in order to ensure that the museum does not become overcrowded.

Class size: Most active learning sessions are designed for a class of up to 30 at a time (with the exception of the Monks Life session which is 24 due to health & safety reasons), please refer to Active Learning Sessions for more information. Please let us know if you have much larger groups and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Cost: At present the Priory school visits remain free of charge, but as it is one of three sites this is subject to change. There may be a nominal charge for materials, please check the relevant web page for details.

Extending your visit: If your group wishes to extend their visit, don't forget that the Herbert is located very close to the Priory, as well as Coventry Cathedral and Coventry Transport Museum whose websites give more information about their education programmes (booking is necessary).

Behaviour: The Priory Visitor Centre is a shared public area that is used by many different people. In order to respect the needs of all our visitors and maintain a safe and pleasant environment for everyone please ensure that the following points are adhered to:

  • Discipline is the responsibility of the group leader and their helpers, who should remain with the group at all times. Your LEA guidelines for pupil/adult ratios should be followed.
  • Mobile phones should be switched to silent during active learning sessions to avoid distraction.
  • Please treat handling resources with care at all times and ensure that any damage is reported immediately.

Health and safety: A basic risk assessment is available to download from this website page. However, group leaders are encouraged to make a pre-visit to look around the museum.
