Castles in Workshop - daily life in a mediaeval castle (1144)
Those History People
Constantly rated 10/10 on all feed back:The children absolutely enjoyed it. They all came away with a bag of ‘goodies’ they had made along with a wealth of new knowledge. All children were engaged from start to finish. Phil was great in both roles and the children hung on every word he said. A super resource that we would struggle to supply ourselves.
