English Heritage has started work on new education facilities at Stonehenge UNESCO World Heritage Site which will be launched for the 2026/2027 school year.
The project includes a new state-of-the-art facility that will unlock the educational potential of this remarkable World Heritage Site. The Stonehenge Learning Centre will be home to inclusive, accessible and sustainable spaces including a Digital Production Studio, Weston Learning Studio, Wolfson Foyer and the Clore Discovery Lab, where there will be a new ‘STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in Heritage’ programme.
English Heritage’s Learning at Stonehenge project will enable more schoolchildren to visit and learn from the WHS. Facilities will also include a classroom made to resemble a Neolithic building using historically authentic methods and locally sourced materials, including thatch, coppiced timber and chalk daub. The classroom will be big enough for 30 students and built according to archaeological evidence from nearby prehistoric settlement Durrington Walls.
