Alas, the Reading Ancient Schoolroom is suspended for the duration of the pandemic. Ancient school practices are not compatible with the measures needed to keep everyone safe in this difficult time, and we would not want to be responsible for anyone’s falling ill. We look forward to welcoming you again once it becomes safe to do so!

Once that time arrives, we will once again welcome school groups, families, and individuals. There will be a small charge, which can be waived under certain circumstances.

For more information about practicalities, including the schoolroom’s offerings and how it can further your educational objectives, see for primary schools, for secondary schools, or children and families coming independently.

Booking is essential: please contact E.Dickey@reading.ac.uk to reserve a date and time.
