WW2
Join Betty Wilson ARP offficer for a blitz training operation, connecting lost evacuation suitcases to their owners and life on the home front.
Ancient Greece
A peek into the life of an Ancient Greek living in Athens - home, politics, the gods and goddesses and entertainment
Viking Workshop
Join Alruna Oddsdotter for a Viking raid, some trading in Kaupang and a tour of her longhouse.
Workshop Activities
Her workshops are immersive, educational experiences that develop creative, curious learners and help them respond to history by imaginative connecting to a different time period. Whether looking for a lost suitcase during the evacuation, riding the high seas with Viking warriors or buying and selling goods at the agora in ancient Greece, Beth uses her experience with drama, storytelling and music to bring history to life!
As a facilitator, Beth champions a way of connecting to the past through suspending disbelief and transporting ourselves to real life places, stories and events and through this deciding what we do and don’t share with our ancestors.
Excellent research and resources mean throughout the session there will be opportunities to make traditional crafts with authentic materials, learn period language terms and expressions, experience horrible history facts, listen to musical instruments and sing rousing songs!
"The session was so engaging and educational. So lovely to join in with the songs and stories". Bishop’s House – Tudor Christmas
