about this session
Our familiarisation days are offered free of charge to all teachers who are leading, or thinking of leading, a school visit to Hillsborough Castle and Gardens.
They are specifically designed to assist teachers in their planning and enhance their knowledge and skills ensuring that they lead their visit with confidence.

• Guidance on resources and suggestions for pre and post-visit activities for the classroom.
• Practical advice on leading the visit and a chance to ask questions.
