Visiting the Centre when there is snow or ice
As can be seen from the map on the Location page, the Centre is set in the middle of rural Nottinghamshire, and the road passing it, Acre Edge road is not considered to be a priority route by our local Highways Agency, so it is not gritted. Please therefore take the utmost care when driving to and from the Centre.
When such conditions arise, it is also advisable to call the Centre on 01623 836627 prior to visiting, to confirm that it is open; while we strive to be in a position to receive visitors all year round, it may be that for health and safety reasons or due to staff or speakers being unable to make their way here, that we are forced to restrict our opening hours.
Of the Berlin street: “At this point, I felt things really clicked into place and the children began to understand day-to-day life for Jews.” The carriage was engaging and poignant; children really got to see what happened in reality, but in a sensitive way.” “The home was atmospheric and children got a real feel for life in Germany in the 1930s.”
