Celebrate the end of term together and look ahead to the opening of our new learning spaces in 2026, where we look forward to sharing knowledge and skills with you and your students.

Educators are invited to have a behind-the-scenes hard hat tour, share conversations about ideas, opportunities and challenges, and make new connections with like-minded colleagues from local boroughs over lunch.

Engagement Curator Sophie Greenstreet will share updates on upcoming plans to bring making back to the heart of Henry Moore Studios & Gardens.

They will also be a discussion of collaborative projects we’ve been piloting with local partners, such as Hertford Regional College Inclusive Learning, and metal workshops with Ore Projects.
