Services to schools and museums

Although we occasionally arrange education days at our event venues, we can bring history right into schools too! Safe, easy and very good value for money! Ideal too for museums, special interest groups and social clubs.

We can arrange for top living historians and interpreters to come to you and present fascinating talks and hands-on-activities. Our pool of experienced speakers and interpreters could be just what you need! We always select the right person or persons for the job. Whether a single interpreter, a couple or group, they will present you with a slice of history in a fascinating, engaging way. Nobody ever falls asleep at the back during one of our talks, and we can add lots of audience involvement if so wished (particularly appropriate to schools)!

If you need historical characters for a museum, even or open day, look no further! 

Some feedback from a multi-period history day: "The day went brilliantly. The re enactors were all very good as you said they would. The Medieval knights were very popular as was the Second World War and the First World War. The boys in particular wanted to have a go at the Victorian washing. They all enjoyed letting off energy with the Civil War Drill and the girls were particularly interested in the Romans...please pass on my thanks to them all for working with our pupils. The pupil responses have been excellent to what they did and saw".

Fees vary according to content and location, but are always very reasonable.

Just some of the subjects we can cover:
