Remembering Tommy

Fun, friendly and educational wartime workshops for schools telling the story of ‘The British Tommy’ through the Greatest Conflicts the world has known. Hands on practical teaching for children with the opportunity to explore history through drama, dance and role play. I can offer a bespoke package tailored to the needs of your school. This is the most popular package we offer and is incredibly sought after around Armistice/Remembrance time. See below for photographs, prices and a list of popular sessions.

It is much more beneficial for the children to see history brought to life at their school rather than organising a school trip to a museum where they will easily lose focus trying to read and walk round all day. It will also save on the cost of museum entry and coach fees. This is usually aimed at Y4s 5s & 6s but has been taught in Secondary Schools for up to Y9s. For your peace of mind all weapons are deactivated and have certificates proving so. All our staff are DBS checked.
