Our home education workshops are designed for children from 5 to 16 years old who are being home educated. Delivered by a diverse and highly skilled education team, we provide unique interactive experiences using resources such as live animals, animal objects and multimedia. You can choose to attend every workshop in the relevant age range or just a few that peak your interest.
How to book
Due to Covid19 restriction our planned programme of home education workshops have been postponed. We will update this webpage with new dates and workshops titles when they are able to restart. Home educators are still eligible for education rates.
Any objects from the natural world used in these session are loaned to us by HM Revenue and Customs.
Please be aware that though we may use a live animal in some of these sessions, but we do not guarantee that they will be present – animals can fall ill or be unwilling to be handled and their welfare is ZSL’s first priority.
- The workshops are divided into age groups to give parents a guide to the level of language and detail we will be covering but if you feel a session in a different age bracket is more appropriate please for you child you may book it.
