 Questions often asked:

 

Who are you ?

We are a team of professional living history interpreters who specialize in visiting schools, museums & historic locations to enhance knowledge, enjoyment and the understanding of history.

How far do you travel ?

We are based in the South-East of England, but are willing & frequently do travel outside this area to many parts of the country. We have clients in East Anglia, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Gloucestershire, Somerset & Cornwall.

Are you CRB cleared ?

Yes all staff are CRB checked.

Do you have insurance ?

Yes the company has 5 million pounds public liability insurance & all activities have risk assessments.

How far in advance do I need to book & do you take late bookings ?

Normally clients book well in advance from 4 months to one year as they have a specific date. But we have taken bookings as late as 2-3 weeks before an event, where clients have been let down by others (the latest was 3 days). Contact Mark, if we are available and can help we will.

Is there a limit on the number of students or size of event that you can do ?

For schools we can entertain up to 300+ students all day & for events, public or private size or numbers are not a problem.  

  

I have a question not on this list ?

A few letters of thanks.

Bullers Wood School, Bromley Kent.  210 Girls for a Medieval day."Thank you so much organizing such an excellent day. Our students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and their good behaviour is a reflection on how engaging they found your activities and approach. I lost count of how many students were disappointed when I said we had to leave just after 2pm - not a sentiment we're used to hearing.

Please thank your whole team for making it such a memorable day for all and for making it all run so smoothly."

Sara Northey.

 

Croydon Contacts.

"It was lovely to see you and your team again. Yet another fantastic day for our young people! Most of our youngsters have ADHD, learning difficulties or are on the Autistic Spectrum, they loved every minute of the day, in fact their laughter could be heard quite away off!! A lay person wouldn't believe our children (and young adults!) with all their concentration difficulties could be so captivated for a whole day!

Thanks from all of us again."

Anita Davison.

 

Downlands Countryside Management Project.

"I would like to thank you for coming to the Countryside day at Banstead again this year which has been the biggest so far. We have no accurate attendance figures but Guestimate at over 10,000.

What an excellent attraction and display again.

Many thanks and hope to see you again next year."
