Thank you.' - Lindon Bennett School (100% special needs school) 'The girls gained so much from it - their history came alive!' - SWP school 'All the way home I was babbling in the car about how utterly fantastic the day was.

I thought it was really interesting & I'm one of those people who don't really like history'. - A pupil 'It was so much fun and because it was fun I learnt a lot.' - A pupil 'Another thing I liked was that we got to become involved, not just listen to someone speaking.

There were lots of different types of nasty cutting knives. We saw a real leech –urgh!!.

The year 7 social area has been buzzing with talk of “ the days” all this week!' - Netherhall School 'The children greatly enjoyed the presentations and learned much from your presence. This is a tribute to your expertise and knowledge. Your attention to detail was most impressive and the children learnt a huge amount about life in the middle ages.'

This we achieve with a tried and effective mixture of dialogue and display with an emphasis on audience participation. We bring the medieval era to life in a fun, colourful & educational manner. We provide historical, interactive living history displays for museums and historical sites, schools (compliment to keystage 3 & GCSE in particular) and fetes and fayres. We are also available to hire for film work. Our displays and our website are constantly being updated so please bookmark our site and come back again. Welcome to our site.
