Key Stage 3 Workshops

Interactive and Engaging 30-Minute Key Stage 3 Workshops at Marwell Zoo

We’re making exciting changes to our education provision, so are currently not taking new bookings for workshops.

We are still welcoming self-guided school visits, and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Stay tuned for details of our new offering.

At Marwell Zoo, we offer a range of interactive and engaging 30-minute workshops, each designed to complement and enhance your curriculum in science, geography, psychology, leisure and tourism, art and conservation. Our workshops are not only educational but also fun, making them a perfect addition to your visit to Marwell Zoo.

Each workshop can accommodate up to 90 students per session* (*40 students per session for Observational Drawing), making them ideal for large groups. If you are bringing more than 270 students, please contact us to discuss options.
