Tudor Fun and Games

At our monthly Home Education Days, families are invited to join us for a day of hands-on activities and creative workshops, designed especially for curious minds and creative hands.

At each workshop, we explore a new history theme, bringing the past to life through interactive experiences.

Our workshops are aimed at children aged 4–13 years, with an accompanying adult supporting their children where needed. With such a broad age range, sessions are delivered at Key Stage 1 and 2 level, with flexibility to suit different learning styles.

Tudor Fun and Games

Step back in time and experience Tudor life through an interactive history session packed with fascinating facts and hands-on activities. Try traditional Tudor games and make your very own Tudor game to take home, alongside themed arts and crafts.

History has never been so much fun!
