School Groups

 

School groups are welcome to visit Lytham Hall by prior arrangement at a cost of £75.00 for 15 children, any extra children are priced at £5 per child.

​

Our educational tours are based on the history of the Hall and the Clifton family from 1752 to the present day. Starting from the Georgian period moving through to the Victorian era and then the Edwardian era. World War Two and on to the present day are also included in our educational offer. We can also cover the earlier origins of the grounds including the priory and the Jacobean Hall if requested. The tours are planned to be interesting, engaging, informative and fun.

 

We can take children from Year Two and above.

 

Our four current bespoke primary school tours are as follows:

 

Treasures and Surprises - Pupils will learn about the history of the house and family by looking at  special items within the rooms and finding out about the many secrets and surprises that the house has within.

 

Architecture and Aesthetics - Pupils will learn about the house and the family by looking at the architecture of the house and by discovering the beauty to be found within the house.

​

Brownies History Badge - Brownies will explore the life of one of the Clifton family and will work on all three sections of the History badge requirements during their Lytham Hall visit. After a quick quiz to check understanding at the end - Brown Owl will award the badges. Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

 

A Study of the Life and Times of an Extraordinary Woman (The Life of Vi) - Pupils will learn about Violet Clifton and her adventures with and impact on the Clifton family. This can be tailored to all primary ages from Year 2 to 6. Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

 

However - tours can be tailored and adapted if needed.

Tours usually take place in the morning before normal opening time for the general public. A tour would typically take from one hour forty-five to two and a half hours.
