St Osyth Priory Education Centre Welcomes First School Visits

Priory Education Centre

Hundreds of Essex school children have enjoyed visits to St Osyth Priory during the summer term thanks to a hugely successful opening programme of free school trips. To mark the launch of the new Priory Education Centre, pupils from 13 Essex schools explored the Estate taking part in pond dipping, tractor trailer rides, tower trips and more as they spent time in nature. A paid programme of family and education visits will be launching in August. Workshop activities on Medieval medicine and scavenger hunts in the rose garden introduced 700 students to the legend of St Osyth and the historic significance of the Priory.
