Exploring the history around Eldon House

Outreach

Eldon House aims to be accessible to all and offers off-site visits for seniors homes, adult, and children’s groups. Our outreach programs are designed with a small tech presentation and a hands-on element, aiming to engage participants in conversations about the past. We are always happy to discuss tailoring a program based on the interest of the group. Use the read more link for further details and our booking form.
