Dear All
In view of recent world events I suspect that as well as fewer tourists visiting the UK in the forseeable future, fewer school and other learning/leisure groups will be planning trips within the UK. At this museum we have had a number of cancellations already, and snippets of information from across the country that combinations of parents/Headteachers/Governors are asking schools not to make trips, and this is not restricted to our London museum sites. We have also noticed a drop in the general visitors to our sites in the last week.
I wondered if anyone else has been feeling the same impact, and if there is any more information out there about 'official' policy for schools making trips to museums etc. Any information would be very useful. Many thanks!
