Educational Visits
Will I automatically receive a lesson if I book a visit?
No – our lessons are very popular and are subject to availability, so please
book early if you would like to include a lesson in your visit. We can accommodate
up to 60 students per session. If you would like to bring more students, you can book
a visit without a lesson at school prices.
Will an Educational Visit include a full stadium tour experience as well as a workshop?
All of our Educational Visits include a full stadium tour as well as the workshop
so that pupils can find out about Wembley's rich history and heritage as well as
interesting facts and stats about the Stadium and the variety of events that have taken
place at Wembley over the years.
How long should we allow for our visit?
We recommend 90 minutes without a workshop and three hours with a workshop.
Please allow some extra time for arrival and departure and arrange transport accordingly.
Where do the workshops take place?
We have a dedicated onsite teaching space, with a classroom which holds up to 35 students.
How long does the workshop last?
Workshops last for approx. 50 minutes. From January 2020, lessons are available
at 11.00am and 2.00pm. However we can alter these timings slightly to fit in
with your school day and travel arrangements. Please contact us to discuss timings.
How many children can attend each workshop?
We can accommodate up to 35 students (with some flexibility) and can only run
one workshop at a time. Workshops cannot be run simultaneously. Larger groups
can be accommodated by splitting into two groups of 30 per session with
one group taking the Tour whilst the other does the workshop. If you would like
to book in two classes in one day, one class can come in the morning,
and the other class in the afternoon.
What is the required ratio of adults to children?
We offer one free adult place for every six pupils in Primary Schools and one free adult place
