School Dinner's Exhibition

Travel back in time with our school dinner history-inspired treats. Packed with flavor and nostalgia to make you feel like a kid again!

School Dinner Exhibition

Semonlina, sponge pudding and custard, turkey twizzlers... What are your memories of school food?

Explore school dinners past, present and future as memories and tastes of school food are brought to life in our new exhibition.

From the meals themselves to the people behind them, have you ever thought about why school dinners are the way they are?

The exhibition features tasters that may provoke delight or disgust, depending on your memories of school food.

Running until 21st February 2027
