Education and Public Participation
We at Medieval Events believe that children learn much faster with a hands on, fun approach to education; why not allow your class to perform a 'bill man's parade', or learn how a Knight prepared for combat by trying on armour and handling artefacts themselves. Feel how heavy the items were and how they felt in the hands of historical figures.
Why not combine this with a historical interpretation from one of our skilled demonstrators. We are able to provide costumed educators covering English history from the 11th century to World War II. All our demonstrators have previous experience in educational events.
Below is a small selection of our medieval classroom projects, if you are studying a different period please contact us for details.
