Please note that we are currently at capacity for tour and workshop bookings and are unable to accept new requests for the rest of term.
We are still able to offer in-school / visits to the gallery, for year 12 groups from a state funded school or FE college. Please reach out directly to jonathan.bridges@courtauld.ac.uk.
Our booking form will be live again in January, and we invite schools and colleges to submit booking requests then. To ensure that we have availability, we now ask for a minimum of six weeks’ notice of any visits you would like to book. Tours and Workshops will therefore be available from mid-February onwards.
Secondary schools are welcome to visit us as a self-guided group if this will work better with your schedule. Please provide us with at least one week’s notice of any intended visit. Our self-guided booking form can be found here.
Independent schools can view our current charges for guided visits here.
