Wicksteed Park

A visit to Wicksteed Park is a joy for visitors of all ages: the fairground attractions offer pleasure and excitement. The skill displayed by the education team at the park is to use the excitement and anticipation to help students to learn about and to appreciate that things did not come about by accident but was the idea and ideal of one man, Charles Wicksteed. School group visits are days of fun coupled with fascinating learning when teachers liaise with the resident education staff to enable students to understand that people of former times lived lives that were not so very different from our own. They too played the same games, had the same desire to learn and understand how their ancestors lived. Visitors to Wicksteed Park are lucky because the members of the education team are able to teach all these things in ways that are memorable.
