Our school sessions are for groups of up to 25 or 30 pupils.
Our workshops are made up of a carousel of activities (dressing up in uniform, a Museum trail and an arts and crafts activity) and always including seeing the serving soldiers on duty- both caring for the horses in the working stables on the other side of our glass viewing screen and outside on Public Duties protecting the Horse Guards Building, entrance to the Royal Residences.
Come and learn at the Household Cavalry Museum …
Workshops can be done in either a morning session (10:00-11:45hrs) which includes watching (some of) the Mounted Guard Change, or an after school session (15:00-16:30hrs).
Having seen these modern day Regimental duties, each visit enables you relate what the class has seen back to the historic period in which the workshop is based; that way you can continue the learning with some compare/contrast work back in the class room if you’d so like.
We’ll of course also give you the completed arts and crafts activity sheets or the Fast&Furious drama script to take home with you so you can follow up your visit to the Museum will classroom activities or a school assembly.

Three fascinated Westminster school groups got to ‘meet’ Waterloo hero Samuel Godley in the Household Cavalry Stables last week; he told them about his experiences in the great battle and also answered interview questions. The groups were also able to meet serving members of the regiment to compare regimental life 200 years ago to today. Much fun was had by all.
