We believe that learning should be fun, so we use our knowledge and skills to take children and adults of all ages on an exciting journey of discovery into the past.

Amongst our costumed educators, join Roman legionary Marcus Valerius on the eve of the Iceni revolt; walk with Norman Knight or Anglo Saxon Thegn on the field at Senlac Hill [Hastings]; learn the Ave Maria with Franciscan brother Benedict; balance the books with 15th century merchant Robert Toppes; Discuss the Kings 'Great Matter' with Henry VIII, campaign with William Wilberforce for the abolition of slavery; or listen to the life story of a Mosquito pilot in 1944 - we can provide a fabulous insight into any period of English history.

We also have a fabulous selection of replica artefacts which have been specifically designed for examination and study. All weapons, armour and tools are real, but under our expert guidance, safe to handle. Our displays encourage curiosity and provoke discussions, which often begin with a simple question like:

• WHO used the item?
• WHAT is it called?
• WHO made it?
• WHAT is it used for?
• WHY was it used?
• WHERE does it come from?
• WHAT is it made from?

For special occasions we can provide a cast of diverse characters from various periods. For example, knight, surgeon, monk, minstrel, falconer and cook - fully equipped with historically accurate tools of the trade - take part in many medieval-themed educational sessions.

We have all the necessary paperwork to support our services, including CRB checks, comprehensive public liability insurance, child protection policy, risk assessments, model release forms. We have a perfect record and want to keep it that way!

Contact us for details, and we will help you to create an experience that will be remembered by children for years to come! We also work at Stately homes and castles to add extra elements to a school visit, as costumed tour guides.
