Who are The Drama Hut?
At The Drama Hut, we provide on-site and online history workshops, bringing subjects to life. For many schools, this is a cost effective and convenient alternative to expensive school trips. Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom.
Choose from a vast range of topics or let us create a bespoke workshop for your school. All we require on the day of our visit, is either a clear space to work in and a member of staff to observe or join in the experience or if online, we can reach you from our our zoom platform or your own school portal.
