We love welcoming groups of all kinds to explore West Bay Discovery Centre! Whether you’re a local club, community group, or special interest society, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy together.

Group Size

We can accommodate groups of up to 25 people for a free, self-guided visit during our normal opening hours. To make the most of your time here, we recommend splitting into smaller groups of around 10–12 people to ensure everyone has space to enjoy the displays.
👉 Please book your visit in advance so we can help you plan your time with us.

Free Entry

There’s no charge for self-guided group visits — we simply ask that you consider making a donation to help us keep the Discovery Centre free for everyone to enjoy.

Days and Times for Group Visits

Groups are welcome Tuesday to Friday, 11am – 4pm, during our regular opening season.

School Visits

We’re always happy to welcome school groups and tailor visits to suit your needs. Please call or email us at manager@westbaydiscoverycentre.org.uk to discuss your requirements.
