Schools/Education
Have you ever wondered what Florence Nightingale was really like? What life was like under the Romans? Was King Tutankhamun’s tomb really cursed? What it was like to live on the home front in Wartime Britain? Or whether or not Anne Boleyn was really guilty of Treason?
Then let History’s Maid give the answers in workshops and story telling designed to engage, inspire and educate. Sessions for Key Stage1 & 2 currently include Egyptology, Romans, Tudor, Victorian and Second World War.
