All ages

Did you know that the Egypt Centre offers much more than teaching children about Egyptian history?  We have updated our activities to include; writing, mathematics and measuring, role-play, games, which incorporate the National Curriculum common requirements and are skills based.  

We have many sessions to choose from with all day (10am to 2.30pm) or half day (10am-12.00 noon or 12.30pm-2.30pm) sessions including history, art, mathematics or medicine!  We can also cater for individual requirements. However  please book in advance to make sure that someone is here to help you. Phone Wendy on (01792) 295960 or e-mail w.r.goodridge@swansea.ac.uk.

The children will not be expected to work on their own but take part in the activities with the Centre’s assistants. Most of our staff working with your children are unpaid volunteers who are CRB enhanced police checked and are fully trained in leading activities. 

We offer KS1-3 mathematics and a free travelling exhibition with booklet.

We also have a gift shop with 'Egyptian' items starting from 20p.  We offer a goody bag facility for visiting schools which takes the hassle out of your visit! 

Special Needs Students

We welcome special needs students and work closely with schools and institutions to offer a variety of activities delivered at appropriate levels to suit individual needs.  The museum has full disabled access. 

Primary Schools

We can provide KS1 early years (now Foundation Phase1) activities which are half day only, KS1 Primary (now Foundation Phase 2) for half or all day and KS2 half or all day. We also offer activities for a half day for schools visiting another venue such as Swansea Museum.
