Home Education Day at UK Parliament

Explore the free Westminster visit for home-educating families on 11 February 2027, including a tour, activities and how to check household eligibility.

Thursday 11 February 2027 · UK Parliament Education Centre, Westminster, London.

The published visit lasts two hours and fifteen minutes. Families tour the Palace of Westminster and can try activities about petitions, elections and how a bill becomes law. Think of one issue your household has discussed recently. On the journey home, try following how someone might raise it with their MP.

Getting a place

The visit is free. A booking or application must go through Parliament’s education service. An acknowledgement of an application is separate from a confirmed visit. Check the session times and booking arrangements with the venue before buying train tickets.

The organiser’s eligibility text welcomes applications for learners aged 7–18. Another section lists 4–18 for visiting groups. If a child under seven is coming, ask the Education Centre to confirm which part of the session they can attend. The listing asks for at least one accompanying adult in each household and gives household-size limits. See the official visit and access arrangements.
