What's included?
As part of your visit to The Red House or Snape Maltings:
- All teaching staff are welcome on a free pre-visit to either site.
- All Suffolk schools are entitled to a free visit to your school by our education staff in advance of your visit.
- All our educational experiences are adaptable and our qualified staff will be delighted to have a conversation with teachers or lecturers to make sure that sessions meet your objectives.
While we suggest that participating in one of our staff-led sessions is the best way to explore The Red House, you are welcome to develop your own teacher-led visit (restricted to the Gallery, Library, Composition Studio and gardens). There is no charge for your own teacher-led visit, but please contact us for further details.
We will be developing a number of exciting workshops for Key Stage 3-4. In the meantime please contact us with any visit requirements and we will be happy to develop a unique visit, tailored just for you.

Fulfilling the Music National Curriculum as well as Maths and Science, the additional emphasis on Literacy and storytelling is enthralling.
