In the classroom: Handling Boxes

These boxes are available to hire for three weeks either before or after a school visit.

Bring the Victorians to your classroom and borrow one of our Victorian Treasure Chests - crammed with original Victorian artefacts (wherever possible) for pupils to handle and enjoy.

TC Children

With approximately 15 items, photos, documents, an information booklet and activity ideas in each box, you’ll find our Victorian Treasure Chests an excellent teaching resource for all key stages.

TC Household

Colne Valley Museum is a charitable trust, and we rely on donations and voluntary staff to survive.

For this reason we charge a small fee of £20 per box plus a £40 returnable deposit.
