Self-led group visits

We welcome self-led visits from schools, colleges, universities and community groups to explore our exhibitions. Self-led visits are available Wednesday–Friday, 11 am–4 pm.

Our exhibition programme changes throughout the year. Please check the What’s On page to see which exhibitions will be on display when you plan to visit. Where possible, we encourage you to visit the exhibitions beforehand to assess their suitability for your group.

On arrival, you will be greeted by a member of Studio Voltaire’s visitor services team. The Gallery can accommodate groups of up to 30, depending on the exhibition layout. To visit exhibitions in the Project Studio, groups will need to split into groups of six and enter with one staff member per group. Please note that our shop, House of Voltaire, contains some material of an adult nature.

We ask groups to maintain a staff-to-participant ratio of:

• Under 5 years 1:5
• 6-11 years 1:10
• 12-16 years 1:15
• Over 16 years 1:20

For education visits, educators are responsible for the behaviour and conduct of students at all times. The Event Studio is available to book for use as a cloakroom, lunch space, breakout room, or activity space, subject to availability.

To book a self-led group visit, please get in touch through the online enquiry form. Please note that we require at least two weeks notice before a visit.
