PRIVATE TOURS AND WORKSHOPS
PRIVATE TOURS
Bespoke tours available for groups, students, home educators, and work events.
From short, informal routes to more in-depth critical walks - tours can be tailored to suit you.
Tours range from more traditional routes to specialising in how cities and humans interact. We can cover everything from how art changed the streets; why graffiti was more important to the city than the Hacienda; the AirBnB impact on Queer culture; skateboarding and play as tools of an anti-homelessness agenda; how 80s Northern TV led to globalisation; and wildflowers as symbols of landbanking.
critical-thinking workshops
Become a Skyliner Fledgling. Encouraging critical-thinking skills for learners aged 7 - 11 (Key Stage 2). These walking workshops engage children in their surroundings and have them question how the public realm, towns and cities can work better for them in future. With prompts and guidance, children will assume the role of tour guide and learn that they can influence their environments; from the art we see, the spaces where we play, and the ways we access or dwell in our cities - have your young people think like planners (they probably already do!)
