Rutherfords Den Update

  1. Rutherford’s Den itself is currently closed and will be for quite a while.  However, our education programme is thriving.  We are currently based at Hammersley Park School in Shirley and can accommodate class visits here or we can visits schools and deliver our programmes on site.  Most of what we originally offered can be tailored and taken on the road and feedback from teachers has been fantastic – and it is so much more convenient for them to have us at their school while the shakes are still happening. 

  2. Kind regards
