ABOUT
Would you love to have a ROMAN LEGIONARY SOLDIER in your classroom?
How about a TUDOR ARCHER?
A MUSKETEER of the MONMOUTH REBELLION?
A bloodthirsty BARBER-SURGEON?
Or even a FIRST WORLD WAR TOMMY from the trenches of the Western Front?
Well HISTORY WORKSHOPS can do that!
I am a historical reenactor who has spent the last 15 years working in the education sector. I am a member of the Taunton Garrison Historical Reenactment Group and their Official Historian. HISTORY WORKSHOPS can cater for all year groups from KS1 to KS4. We can custom design sessions and/or days around school timetables and a school's curriculum.
Be it: a Tudor barber-surgeon, a soldier from an Elizabethan Trained Band, a musketeer from the English Civil War, a rebel and a redcoat from the Monmouth Rebellion or a Tommy of the First World War - we can provide your pupils with an inspiring and memory-making day!
Tailor made days - full reenactment clothing and equipment - interactive activities - parent & teacher workshops - whole school history day planning and much more.
