History

Education

At Abergavenny Castle in South Wales, we provide an educational experience for local schools and colleges. Students are met by presenters wearing period clothing.  Using the process of questioning and explanation, a range of museum quality artefacts and weaponry is explored, and a greater understanding of the historical period is gained by the students. The presenters encourage questions and interaction throughout the experience.

During the last 22 years, we have presented historical education for English Heritage at sites in Cornwall at Pendennis Castle to Deal Castle in Kent and Yarmouth Castle on the Isle of Wight. 

Interpretation

Colin and Sally have presented 'Living History' displays for a vast array of venues and Historical sites. Over the last twentytwo years, they have interpreted sites for English Heritage, from Pendennis Castle in the South West to Deal Castle in Kent and north to Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire. We also interpret historically important dates or events for clients who wish to celebrate an important part of their communities past.

This can include costumed presenters, a range of artefacts, craft displays, and the firing of artillery.  The visitor is encouraged to ask questions and interact with the presenters and, if possible, with the craft being expanded as they enjoy their visit.
