How to Book Sessions for Schools

To make a booking, plan a bespoke learning session, or discuss what we could offer you, contact the Learning and Access team on 020 7766 0130 or 020 7766 0132. You can also email cwr-edu@iwm.org.uk.

Admission to Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms is free for children under 16 and for accompanying adults within our allowed ratios. There is a charge for pre-booked educational sessions:

  • £60 per group for a 60-minute session - just £2 per child for a group of 30
  • £90 per group for longer sessions, 60-120 minutes
  • £15 per pupil for full-day workshops/conferences. Teachers within supervision ratios go free, but additional adults may be charged admission.

All costs include VAT.

We operate a pay-on-the-day system. Upon arrival, payment can be made by cheque, credit/debit card or cash. We do not accept American Express. Cheques should be made payable to the Imperial War Museum.

For safety reasons, all groups must have an adult-to-child ratio of 1:10. Teachers/adults accompanying pupils within this ratio go free, but additional adults may be charged at the adult group admission price. We reserve the right to refuse admission to groups that do not meet the ratio on the day.

Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms admission charges apply to groups aged 16 or over, but if your group’s admission fees total £90 or more your session will be free.
