Learning at The Wilson

At the Wilson, we aim to inspire curiosity, thinking, and discovery through our immersive, hands-on workshops. We provide learning opportunities for schools, further education establishments, families and community groups, with a focus on providing equality of access and opportunity to our diverse audience across the county.

We offer a range of social history and art workshops, both pre-planned and bespoke, led by our experienced Learning Team. Whether based in our purpose-built Foyle Learning Centre or exploring our galleries, we strive to provide a unique learning environment that truly brings history and the arts to life.
