The History of Historic Workshops |
Where we are now |
|
Historic Workshops was started in 2016, by Leigh, who was working part-time as a Primary School Teacher. It all started with just one workshop: WW2 Workshop. Feedback from the workshop was very positive, and soon, Roman Workshop was also born. After an unprecedented amount of bookings in the 2017-18 school year, Leigh finished teaching to run Historic Workshops full-time. The rest, as they say, is history.

Do you want educational resources for your school?

We highly recommend Starbeck Educational Resources. Nearly every workshop that we deliver contains items which have been provided by Starbeck! Items are usually much better value than the likes of TTS!
We can also attest that the products sold are of great quality, and most importantly, accurate and authentic to their historical era! |
Do you want history songs to enhance your history topic even more?

We recommend that you take a look at Primary Songs for child-friendly songs that can be used in class or for your class assembly. Downloadable song packs include vocal and backing tracks, lyrics and sheet music.
