Priced so cost is never the reason a child misses out.

Then it does not pay anything at all. Our donation-funded bursary scheme waives the school-visit fee entirely for schools that cannot afford it, because no child should ever miss out on a museum over a few euros their school cannot spare. Just tell us honestly when you enquire and we will arrange it without fuss or paperwork mountains.

Yes. The accompanying teachers and the necessary adult helpers all come free on a school visit — you pay only the small per-student rate for the children, and even that is waived entirely under the bursary scheme where a school needs it.

Quickly. At €12 a year it costs about the same as a couple of separate museum entries, so any student who visits more than twice is ahead — and the holiday programmes and student events are on top. The detail is on the student pass page.

Yes. Prices are shown in euros for clarity, but schools and students in Egypt pay the equivalent in pounds at the prevailing rate, confirmed before you commit, with no markup in the conversion.

None. The per-student rate and the pass price are the whole cost — no booking fee, no resource fee, no charge at the museum door for what is already covered. We say plainly where a museum's separately ticketed special exhibition sits outside the visit.

The per-student rate is the same whatever the size of the class, so a small class and a large one pay the same per head — and accompanying teachers and necessary helpers are free either way. There is no minimum-numbers charge to catch out a small school.

Yes. Schools can be invoiced on the terms their finance office needs, and we are flexible about timing for schools working to a tight budget cycle. If cost or timing is a genuine obstacle, tell us — the bursary and a little flexibility usually solve it between them.

Because the whole purpose of the trust is access, and access priced out of reach is no access at all. The fees are set to cover real costs and keep the door open, not to make a margin, and the cross-subsidy lets those who can pay a little help carry those who cannot. We are a trust, not a business, and the prices are meant to show it plainly.

We hold them as steady as we can, because the families and schools we serve cannot absorb yearly increases. When costs genuinely force a change we keep it as small as possible and explain it; we will never quietly inflate a renewal or spring a higher figure at the point of payment.
