The National Videogame Museum Sheffield

What makes us a great choice for education?

We are a world-leading cultural centre for videogames, that is currently addressing the need for Computing-based education in the UK.

What is typically included on our school trips?

Currently, our visits are self-led in our galleries, which features over 100 playable exhibits and games. Workshops can be made available on request, and we would encourage visitors and teachers to reach out to us to see if we can provide a workshop to their needs.

Testimonials

‘Fantastic school outing to the NVM in Sheffield today, thank you for having us. Students got hands on experience with what they are writing about in their Double BTEC IT Assignments. Interesting to note a video game played with vegetables as controllers!’
