Schools and education groups at Parc Howard Museum

Book onto one of our lively, hands-on workshops, where you'll learn about what life was like in the Llanelly Pottery, Portraits through the Ages, or the Second World War in Llanelli.

All self-led educational visits to the Museum are free, although we welcome donations to help support our learning programmes. 

Please book your self-led visit with us on 01554 742220 or info@cofgar.wales. 

Our education loan boxes are £25 each for two weeks. Please collect and drop off your box(es) within the agreed timeframes at Carmarthenshire Museum only. There is a form to complete and sign upon collection.

Please pay on collection of the box via cash or card at the Museum Reception Desk. 

Damaged or broken items on return will incur a charge.

For Carmarthenshire schools, our preferred method of payment is a transfer of funds. All we need is your school budget code and an email confirming that you are happy for the transfer to take place. Please send this information to info@cofgar.wales at least one week before the visit. 

For all other schools and education groups, we can send you an invoice or you're welcome to pay by card or cash at any time up to and including the day of your visit.

Our preferred method of payment for education loan boxes is card or cash upon collection.

Please contact the Museum directly as early as possible if your circumstances change so that your place can be allocated to another group. 

Cancellations received later than 10am on the day before a booking and groups that miss their session must still pay the full session price. 

Parc Howard Museum has a step free entrance and route from the main road. The Museum exhibition galleries are step free, but located over two floors.

A lift is available on site, but please be aware that the historic doorway to the lift lobby is too narrow for larger wheelchairs.

A gender neutral accessible toilet is located on the ground floor. 

Quiet spaces and rest areas can be made available during your visit and pointed out by a member of staff on arrival. Noise levels in galleries can be adjusted depending on the visitors needs.

Please see our Accessibility at the Museum page for more information.

Please email info@cofgar.wales to request a copy of the CofGâr Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk Procedures.

School staff and education group leaders are welcome to make a preview visit in preparation for their visit. This can be done at any time. 

Preview visits can be self-led or you are welcome to ask for assistance from a member of the CofGâr team. Please let us know in advance by phone or email if you wish to arrange assistance for your preview visit.

Preview visits are useful for site familiarisation, carrying out risk assessments, logistics planning and making sure exhibits match their learning goals. For these reasons, they are recommended, but they are not mandatory.
