Workshops

History Off the Page will bring all the equipment and materials needed to set up workshops in your hall.  The atmosphere will be created by using drama and role-play, facsimile items and the sort of materials which were used by the Tudors.  The workshops often include: the Alchemist’s apprentices, making soap balls and pomanders.

Banquet

During the afternoon session the pupils will experience a Tudor banquet which will continue the pupils role-playing and provide further historical information on the life of King Henry. The banquet makes use of many medieval traditions and customs.

Details of this and further information about the day are included in a booklet which is sent out prior to a booking. All the History Off the Page providers are experienced teachers and storytellers who enjoy working with large groups of children. Generally there will be a story told during the day.

Costumes are available to order from Off the Peg.
