Do you have fond memories of your education? Recall your favourite lessons, playground games and school dinners with a visit to the First Garden City Heritage Museum’s latest temporary exhibition, ‘School Days’.

Our exhibition explores how school life has changed in Letchworth Garden City over the past 100 years, through the recollections of former pupils and showcasing uniforms, textbooks, sports equipment and much more. Why not take the kids and compare their school lives with yours?
