Tuesday 26^th June OR Thursday 28th June – Year 6, 7, 8 & 9

For our two days for ten to fourteen year-olds, we will offering a fully immersive and interactive programme of wide-ranging subjects from which teachers will be able to choose. Using expert historians and living historians together with a mass of genuine historical artefacts, pupils will be able to learn about day-to-day living and lifestyles, as well as warfare, crime and evolving technology, in a way that complements and expands the history curriculum.

Periods covered include: Romans, the Norman Conquest, Medieval, The Tudors/Shakespeare’s England, the Civil  War, Industrial Revolution, First World War and Second World War. There will be encampments for each period. There will also be an immersive First World War trench experience, static aircraft from across the last century, as well as a WWII tank and artillery. Pupils will smell cookery from the past as well as the acrid smoke of black powder, and be able to touch and handle uniforms and clothing, weapons, and daily items of everyday life.

There will also be talks by the brilliant master story-teller, Christopher Lloyd and the History Tellers team, bringing strange and incredible stories from the past back to life with their unique blend of show and tell as well as demonstrations of the history of falconry.
