Hands On and Interactive
From the Stone Age to WW2, our costumed historical characters will bring history to life in your classroom. Children will explore authentic replica artifacts and enjoy interactive and practical activities. Drama, role play, games and crafts allow children to โliveโ in the past, encouraging creative and imaginative onward work.

Every group is different and we will arrange a timetable to suit your set-up and the children attending. Small village schools, large city schools, homeschool groups and specialist units – we create a personalised, bespoke timetable for every client at no additional cost.
Time Saving & Easy to Book
We pack an entire topic into one day with loads of scope for ongoing learning. The booking process is simple with a central point of contact and weโll arrange the admin with your office. All we need from you is some information about your school and children, and we will do the rest!
Inspiring and Engaging
We love history, and it shows! Our enthusiasm will energise your class, and our carefully designed activities mean that facts will stick and imaginations run wild. Get all fired up at the start of the topic, revive interest in the middle, or finish off with a bang. However you choose to use our workshops, you can be sure children will be excited to learn!
Inclusive and Accessible
All our workshops are accessible for children who face additional barriers to education such as SEND, SBMH, physical disabilities and language barriers. We have delivered workshops in Specialist Schools, Units and even hospitals!
Enrich your learning with a visit from our Costumed Historical Characters
Looking for a fun way to bring history alive in your classroom? Our inspiring and engaging workshops for Primary Schools will provide a day to remember, enthusing your group with a passion for history and a desire to learn!
Experience a workshop tailored to your school, with topics from the Stone Age to World War 2. And if you don’t have enough time or resources for full day in-school workshop, then you could meet a “real” historical character on one of our livestreams instead. The children get a great interactive experience and all from the comfort of your whiteboard.
