Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable.

Jess visited our school full of enthusiasm and energy and loads of knowledge to pass on to the children. She related so well to them. They had a wonderful day learning about the stone age.

Gareth visited our year 3 class yesterday and delivered a Stone Age workshop. The content was perfect for the children and was a perfect end to our term’s topic. He began the workshop in role as somebody from the Stone Age and the children were captivated.

Our year 3 class have had a fantastic Stone Age day today. Jess was so informative, entertaining and made a very busy day run smoothly. The children loved the experience and I'd highly recommend as historic workshops

What an amazing day!

The workshop leader Jess was so incredible. She really brought the Stone Age to life for our kids. She was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about history. She was so helpful to our staff too and this made the day run very smoothly. Jess even came by our school's history club at the end of the day. A real treat for them!

The workshops throughout the day were well thought out and engaging for all our children. It helped to reenforce the learning we had been doing in class. The children loved the archery and handling the objects.

Thank you for such a fantastic day! I will be booking more workshops with you.

This week, our cohort of Year 2 children took part in this exciting workshop all about the Great Fire of London, and it enjoyed by all children of all abilities. The workshop was fun, interactive, and easy to understand and follow over three classes.

One of the best parts was the hands-on activities. We examined objects from the period, created pomanders (scented bags) and fire marks from clay.

The workshop leader was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and encouraging us to think about why the fire spread so fast and what changes were made afterward.

Overall, the workshop was engaging, informative, and great fun. It helped us understand the Great Fire of London in a memorable way, and I would highly recommend it to any school learning about this fascinating part of history.

Gareth, the Roman workshop lead, was great. Incredibly knowledgeable and engaging for the children. We have booked the Roman workshop twice and both times with Gareth (Cassius) have been a success.

Rob was knowledgeable.
Varied activities.
Artefacts

The children absolutely loved all of the different experiences of the day. There was great variety of activities during the session and the session leader was knowledgeable and engaging.

Ticked all the boxes for the children's learning; all the pupils were engaged for the whole day. Will be booking again for 2026.

Great interaction with the children and amazing presentation.

Gareth was really knowledgeable about WW2 and all the children were engaged all day. The day was well organised as usual and Gareth was friendly and easy to work with. Love these workshops every year :)

Rob visited our school for an amazing day focused on the Battle of Hastings. The children absolutely loved it! Who wouldn't want to form a defensive shield wall or advance on their friends with 'spears'?! Such an informative day and Rob was amazing, bringing a full archaeology session and even speaking in Olde English to the children - they were just fascinated by it all. Thank you! (This was our second Historic Workshop day and we will definitely book again)

An enjoyable day, had by all. the children enjoyed the day.

Fantastic and immersive WW2 experience provided by Rob today. Our children loved every second of it. Thank you so much ☺️

We were absolutely delighted with the Ancient Egyptian workshop delivered by Bethany from Historic Workshops. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish.
The children were completely engaged and captivated from the very first moment, especially during the brilliant and highly entertaining mummification demonstration.
The activities provided were hands-on, educational, and fun:
• Becoming a Scribe: The children loved practicing their hieroglyphs.
• Egyptian Games: A great way to learn about the culture.
• Making Clay Amulets: A wonderful keepsake and creative activity.
Bethany's professionalism extended to the staff as well. She took the time to thoroughly brief all staff involved, ensuring everyone knew their role and felt fully prepared and organised. This made the logistics of the day run incredibly smoothly.
We highly recommend Historic Workshops and Bethany for an engaging, well-organised, and truly memorable educational experience!

Jess provided a high quality and interactive workshop. Jess spoke passionately about the subject area, the children throughly enjoyed their workshop activities. Activities included mock battle formation, Viking myths, archaeology and Viking games. All activities were well resourced and support and guidance were provided to a high standard. We would thoroughly recommend this workshop for others. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Ed Brown was amazing. All the children were engaged and enthusiastic. They had a great day.

I did mention to Ed that the only thing I would say that needed improving was that some of the activities needed more than the class teacher in supporting the children - with them being young children (key stage 1).

WW1 workshop with Rob (at our SEN School)
Both pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day! Rob had a wide range of engaging and interactive activities which captured and held the pupils' attention throughout the day. The pupils particularly enjoyed the session on stretcher bearers and exploring the wide range of artefacts and memorabilia. Highly recommended.

Gareth provided high-quality workshops for the children, inspiring them and sharing his passion for history. Resources for teachers were clear and the children had a fantastic day. Gareth went above and beyond to make sure all children learnt something new from the day.
