There are various things to consider when booking
a visit to Milestones.
- Firstly you need to consider which programme you are
interested in. This website gives detailed information on all of our schools
programmes.
- You also need to think about when you would like to visit.
It's worth trying to have a few possible dates in mind when you phone us, as at
certain times of the year we are very busy and we may not be able to
accommodate you on your first choice of date.
- To book your visit, please call our Bookings Officer Linda
Owen on 01256 403905 or email milestones.museum@hants.gov.uk
She will be able to advise you on available dates and times.
- When you make your booking you will be asked for several
pieces of information:
- The number of children and adults you would like to
bring
- Contact details for your school so that we can send you
your booking confirmation
- If there are any members of your group with special
needs
- If your group would like to visit the shop or pre-order
Goody bags from our Gift Shop
- If you would like to book copies of our activity
sheets. These are available on this website in the resources section. All you
need to do is note down the reference numbers of the sheets you would like and
let us know this information when you make your booking.
Pre-visits
Pre-visits are recommended.
You can either attend one of our twilight pre-visits or make your own
independent familiarisation visit during normal opening hours. Further
information about making a pre-visit.
