A school visit to Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre offers pupils an exciting opportunity to explore an autonomous arts space and historical landmark, as well as an enriching curriculum-linked experience. With an emphasis on experimentation, we aim to connect local young people with the culture, heritage and activity surrounding the site. Please see our key stage 1 and 2 education pack for further details on activities, learning outcomes, accessibility and other practical information.
