About Us
Historic Workshops travel to schools nationwide, to provide highly-engaging, hands-on learning that is second to none. Our 4 workshop leaders pride themselves in providing a professional service that aims to deliver each workshop to as many children as possible (unlike some other workshop providers, we also provide teacher-led sessions for the children to continue their hands-on learning whilst we are delivering a session).
Most schools we visit re-book us for the following year, or for other workshops that we provide. Since our beginning in 2016, we have seen a huge rise in popularity year on year, which is a true testament to the quality and value of the workshops. In Autumn and Spring 2017-18 and Autumn 2018-19, we were fully-booked 5 days a week! It is essential that you book as early as possible to avoid missing out!
In July 2019, Adam, a current Primary Teacher and Historical Reenactor joined the team. He is available for the following workshops: Stone-Age, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Tudors and WW2.
In February 2020, we had another two additions to the team: Penny, an archaeologist and Chloe, a medieval reenactor.

"When we asked our Year 6 what has been their favourite day during their time at primary school, they said the WW2 workshop!"

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.

Historic Workshops is going from strength to strength. We currently have 4 workshop leaders delivering workshops nationwide.
Many schools book in June/July/August for the next school year, which means dates get booked up quickly. Please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment! |
We travel far and wide. Don't just take our word for it... look for yourself...
Most of the schools you see here re-book the following year or have us back to run our other workshops that we provide!
