Educational Groups

We welcome school groups and offer workshops for KS1 – KS5 pupils led by local artists specifically designed in response to our current exhibitions. These sessions encourage experimentation and introduce creative skills and techniques either at the De La Warr Pavilion or in the classroom.

There are three options for teachers to choose from to ensure that their students get the most out of their visit to the Pavilion:

SELF-DIRECTED VISIT (FREE)
