Visiting The Schoolhouse
School's In Session!
The Old Britannia Schoolhouse is an important building not only for its architecture but for its ability to link the present with the past. Today the schoolhouse performs many roles: Heritage Building, Education Facility, Living History Museum, Community Resource.
The schoolhouse is open for visitors to drop in to see the building and its grounds on the second Sunday of each month except for July and August, weather permitting. A volunteer will be there to answer any questions and give information about The Schoolhouse and its programme. For directions to the Schoolhouse, please see below.
To visit an actual class in action, please contact the Schoolmaster at britannia.schoolhouse@peelsb.com
As well as these opportunities to visit The Schoolhouse, Friends hold special events throughout the year in the heritage building. These are listed in the Events Schedule and highlighted in the Current News section.
