On-site Facilitated Workshop

Our engaging school workshops give you and your pupils exclusive access to London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.

This free workshop is facilitated by an experienced educator and will see pupils become archaeologists by investigating real Roman artefacts. They will uncover stories of the first Londoners, learn about Roman religion, and experience the original Temple of Mithras through an immersive light and sound experience.

The two-hour session aims to extend your pupils’ knowledge about Roman London, and encourage the development of observation, questioning and prediction skills.

These sessions, held on Wednesday mornings, have a maximum capacity of 60 children and are suitable for KS2. Lunch facilities are available on request.

Facilitated school sessions are now fully booked for 2025/2026 academic school year. Please sign up to the waitlist to register your interest and you will be notified if there is a cancellation.

Interactive Virtual Workshop

Explore three Roman London sites

In partnership with the City of London and Culture Mile Learning, we are delighted to offer a live, interactive multi-sensory workshop that enables students to virtually explore three important Roman sites in London:

• London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE
• London’s Roman Amphitheatre
• Billingsgate Roman House and Baths

This free 60-minute session challenges pupils to think critically and enhance their understanding of the past, unlocking the sights and smells of Roman London as they explore the accompanying replica artefact box.

We run these live sessions on select Monday mornings. Bookings are available for 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic year.

This virtual session is complementary, so can be enjoyed in addition, to our in-person sessions.

Self-Guided visit

Book a self-guided visit of London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.

For a more independent exploration, we welcome classes on a Tuesday, Thursday or Friday morning for a teacher-led visit with an introduction and activity pack provided by London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE. This allows pupils to experience of the original Temple of Mithras and explore our 610 Roman artefacts on a more flexible basis, and is open to all educational institutions.

Visits take approximately 1 hour. Please note the museum will be also open to the public at the time and there is no space on site for eating lunch.

For those in larger groups, we can only accommodate 30 self-guided pupils at once; we ask that you stagger arrival times by at least 90 minutes (Class 1 at 10.30, Class 2 at 12.00 etc) to comply with fire and safety regulations.

Bookings open for 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 academic year.
