Home Educators

We strongly recommend booking in advance as Home Ed events have a limited capacity. There will be a small number of tickets available on the day. 

Yes, you can book Sorted! with your visit for children aged 8 and under.  

Once you have added Home Ed Day tickets to your basket, you will see the option to add-on Sorted! 

Choose a Sorted! slot that fits with your other activities.  

All adults and children need a Sorted! ticket. Babies under 1 year go free when booked with a child ticket. 

Disabled adults and children can book a free companion ticket.

We aim to offer a welcoming and accessible experience for all our visitors.  

You can borrow sensory bags and ear defenders at The Postal Museum and Mail Rail welcome desks. 

Interactive sessions are inclusive. Facilitators use Makaton, and there is a break-out area for children to access if needed.

Children under 2 can come to The Postal Museum for free, but you still need to book a ticket. You can find more information on our Ticket page. 

Individuals can book up to 8 tickets for Home Ed events.

The size and design of the ride carriages and the evacuation procedure means Mail Rail is not suitable for all visitors. The ride contains conditions that may be unsuitable for people with physical or mobility issues, small children, claustrophobia, or a pre-existing condition that could be made worse by loud noises, flashing lights or confined spaces.
