Lancashire Museums Loans Service

The Lancashire Museum Loans Service has been delivering and collecting loan boxes across the County since 1994. It is now available to all schools within the boundaries of Lancashire.

Price: the subscription for the academic year is £50 (1 unit), £150 (5 units), £250 (10 units)

What you get for your money 

• Loan units contain a selection of real and replica objects linked to a specific theme.
• Included in most units is a full and detailed teacher’s pack with a wide range of classroom activities
• All are tailored to deliver national curriculum core subjects.
• There are sufficient resources to support a good fortnight’s work.
• The resources can be used across the school to enhance creative and cross-curricular work
• All boxes are delivered to your door and collected.
  

Bespoke units can be put together for special events and you can buy into the service at any time. A unit may be one large box or several themed boxes together. We have an incredible amount of material to inspire teachers and children to be creative. It is through handling, discussion and recording that children understand the world around them. Introducing material they have never seen before, especially the real thing adds excitement and wonder.
