Beverley Minster/Skidby Windmill
Combined, these offer a full day's activities for primary aged children, but Beverely Minster, with careful planning, can provide enough variety for a full day's activities.

Bring these topics to life by arranging an educational visit where a guide will be pleased to give you a tour.
Skidby Windmill
The windmill is Yorkshire's last working windmill, built in 1821 by Norman and 
Smithson of Hull. The adjacent warehouses form the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, with displays illustrating the agricultural and rural history of the area, and including a range of simple child-friendly interactive exhibits.
Childrens' trails and information sheets are available free from reception and there are information sheets in both galleries and in the mill tower. The mill has an Education Room, which is also available for hire for meetings (£10 for ERYC, £12 for other users.) School visits are welcomed, and a Teachers' Pack and other resources are available.
