About Us

Historic Workshops travel to schools nationwide, to provide highly-engaging, hands-on learning that is second to none. Our 6 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 - this is done by implementing a carousel of activities).

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 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, who delivers Maya and Victorian workshops and Chloe, a medieval reenactor, who delivers web-chats for us based on her medieval specialism.

In August 2021, Richard joined the team. Richard is a former primary teacher, and has a huge amount of experience working with primary-aged children over a number of decades. He delivers the following workshops: Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Medieval Knight, WW1 and WW2.

In January 2022, Caroline joined the team, having finished as a full-time teacher. She delivers the following workshops: Ancient Egyptian, Victorian and WW2.

In March 2022, Lucy joined the team. She delivers Stone-Age, Maya and Ancient Egyptian workshops.
"When we asked our Year 6 what has been their favourite day during their time at primary school, they said the WW2 workshop!"

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.
Historic Workshops has now delivered workshops to hundreds of schools nationwide! We have 6 workshop leaders: Leigh, Adam, Penny, Richard, Caroline and Lucy. We deliver 14 different workshops from the Stone-Age through to World War Two.

We are hiring
