Home Ed Groups in Basingstoke

Hampshire Cultural Trust's living-history museum — a network of recreated Victorian and 1930s-40s streets — runs facilitated Home Education Days built around themed history workshops (for example Victorians). A ticket typically includes two short workshops plus free time to explore the museum streets and self-led learning resources; a personalised schedule with fixed lunch slots is sent before the day. These are structured, prompt-start facilitated sessions rather than drop-ins, and under-5s are not admitted to HE events. Pre-book via the Hampshire Cultural Trust website. Cafe, shop, parking and step-free access on site.
