All the information you need to know to plan a school visit to the King Richard III Visitor Centre can be found here.
Our educational visits are available all year round and we recommend you book as early as possible so you can visit on the day of your choice.
Our new and improved Discovery pack will help your class navigate their way around the exhibition and find the key facts about Richard III. The Discovery pack is included in the price of your visit and will be supplied on arrival, along with clipboards and pencils.

Booking
To book your visit, please complete the Museum Learning Enquiry Form.
Once you have a provisional or confirmed booking with us, you can book a free familiarisation visit. This is free for the teachers who will be leading your group on the day of your visit.
Payment
Payment can be made by cheque, credit or debit card in advance of your visit, or on the day. We can invoice UK organisations after your visit.
On arrival you will need to confirm the total amount of pupils and accompanying adults in the group. If you are being invoiced after your visit, these are the numbers which we will use to raise the invoice. If you are paying on arrival, please ensure that you allow an extra five minutes for the process of payment.
Lunch arrangements
If you haven’t already made lunch arrangements, the Visitor Centre does have a room which can be booked by schools. This space is in high demand, so we recommend that you check availability with us as soon as possible.
SEN
We welcome visits from all groups and can provide handling artefacts to help make the experience more accessible. Please contact us on 0116 229 4132 if you’d like to bring an SEN group and we’ll plan a visit to suit your specific needs. Carers are entitled to free admission.
