Learning


Arnos Vale is full of learning and research opportunities for people of all ages. Set in a 45 acre historic landscape and a Site of Special Conservation Interest, it is a magical outdoor classroom which abounds with places to explore art, architecture, history and nature. In addition, well-equipped learning spaces are part of the Spielman Centre. The Learning Team offers a wide variety of educational experiences including activities and learning resources for schools, families and adult learners and opportunities for academic research.
