Learning and Engagement

The Lightbox has been running award-winning learning and engagement programmes since 1997. We work with artists, schools and community groups to provide inspiring creative activities for all ages and abilities. We welcome bookings from schools and groups to visit any of the changing exhibitions in one of our three galleries, or to visit Woking’s Story, our interactive museum that houses a permanent collection of Woking’s social history.

The award-winning building also has an interactive display on the environment and a purpose built Education Studio, where visiting groups can take part in hands-on creative workshops.

If you would like to join our schools mailing list please send your name, school and email to Emily Watkins, Learning and Engagement Officer at [email protected] or phone 01483 737807.
