Experienced, Professional Visitors

Experienced and professional, we have a nationwide team providing historical workshops, WOW and Impact days to the whole of the UK. We can boast a long string of satisfied customers inviting us back year on year.

Activities are varied and fun, covering all aspects of period life from warfare to weaving, conquest to childcare, and we always make sure to dispel any myths along the way.

Easy booking process

Simple and clear pricing and a central point of contact make the booking process easy. You’ll receive the same high standards across all our workshops, so you can organise all your history workshops in one place.

Cheaper and simpler than a trip out

Save yourself the expense and logistical nightmare of going on a trip: bring a historical character into your school for a fraction of the cost of a day out. The children will get to handle authentic replica artefacts, hold real (blunt!) weapons and try on armour. They can take part in role play, find out about daily life, learn about culture, society and status, play physical and mental games, discover how we learn about the past, and be fully engaged for the entire duration of the workshop.

It’s simpler, cheaper and more interactive than a museum trip, and the best part is that you won’t lose any children in the gift shop!
