Teacher twilight: shape our schools programme

Wed 18 March 2026, 4pm - 6pm

Pontefract Castle

We are continually reviewing and improving our schools programme. We'd love to hear your feedback!

Join us for a twilight session at Pontefract Castle. Meet fellow local teachers. Help us to make our schools programme work better for you.

Light refreshments will be provided. You'll also get a discount code to use when booking your next family-friendly Pontefract Castle Dungeon Tour!

Free event, but booking required as spaces are limited.

(Please note: this event is for heads of school, teachers and teaching assistants only. Both primary and secondary teachers are welcome and encouraged to attend.)

We'll be exploring:

  • What do you like about our programme and services?

  • What do you want to see more (or less) of?

  • Have you experienced any barriers in accessing our offer?

  • What sources do you use to find local school programming and workshops

This event will take place in the Activity Zone at Pontefract Castle.
