We have partnered with Sky to create The National Trust Discovery Programme, an exciting and innovative range of learning activities for all to enjoy.

Based at National Trust properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Sky’s support has enabled the Trust to develop a wide ranging series of events and initiatives that focus on informal lifelong learning as well as enhancing visitors enjoyment of our properties.
For adults we have created Lecture Lunches, a series of lectures that allow those with a shared passion to come together, meet others and engage with special guest speakers on the arts, history and geography.
Families and those with a taste for the dramatic will love Outdoor Theatre, a magical and unforgettable experience for children and adults as the curtain rises against a backdrop of castles and historic houses across the country.
And at many National Trust properties we have Tracker Activity Packs that encourage the whole family to have fun exploring and learning more about the properties they visit.
We also want to encourage links with local schools and to enable this Sky is supporting the School Arts Partnership, a highly creative project which links schools to a local Trust house or garden allowing students to work on related Arts projects.
The Discovery Programme consists of formal and informal learning opportunities across a variety of themes and topics. Whether you are studying for exams or following an interest, there’s lots for all ages to explore.
Sky and the Trust develop these events and activities to ensure that we continue to offer you great days out.
