All our history workshops are designed to complement project led learning.
They are cross-curricular and fully hands-on.
Each workshop is designed for up to 60 pupils for a full day (up to 120 in some circumstances).

Typical plan

  ~  Introduction and scene setting (time -line regression if necessary)

   ~  4 hands-on workshop sessions
          -  Artefact handling [all periods]
          -  Toys and games [all periods]
          -  2 x craft based sessions [varies according to period]
                pupils take part in all 4 workshops

   ~  A selection of short presentations based on
         -  Technology
        -  Costume
         - Lifestyle

   ~  A question and answer session using artefacts to prompt discussion

This format suits most of our customers but we always consult with staff before a session to confirm content.  We are able to  make adjustments to ensure cover of any specific elements required.
Where necessary we are happy to create new workshops and specific subjects.

With 15 years of professional experience presenting history workshops we are able to furnish you with references if required.
