Historical Experiences

Immersive Experiences School Workshop

We can visit your school in: All UK Regions

Why book 'Historical Experiences' with Immersive Experiences

Our focus is on ‘Learning through Doing’.

You wouldn’t hire us to deliver sessions in formats you

can deliver yourself in school….. we are here to engage, inspire and wow your students by putting them physically ‘within’ the subject.

We do this with our outstanding activities, storylines and unparalleled resources.

Our sessions are designed so that knowledge absorption & retention become the valuable byproducts of our hands-on, immersive approach.

Who are Immersive Experiences?

Our IMMERSIVE HISTORICALS, take you back in time with fully custom made experiences.

ACTIVE & PHYSICAL
These sessions are almost entirely active with young people taking part in the historial activity by learning the skill and then doing it

ROLE PLAY & DRAMA
These sessions are fully immersive by having the young people act out set pieces, become historical figures and role play alongside the 'in-character- instructors

COMPARE & CONTRAST
The backbone of these sessions in young people using information and role play to examine differences and similarities both between historical cultures and our modern world.

CREATIVITY & PROBLEM SOLVING
These sessions are characterised by the instructors setting the scene and provinding props, equipment and resouces for young people to explore their own problem solving and creativity. The outcome is fluid every time.
