Workshop Summary: 

We bring history to life, using virtual reality to discover the ancient world and providing hands-on practical activities where children can handle artefacts and learn ancient skills. Our workshops are truly immersive.

  • Using our VR headsets, explore the sites of Stone Age to Iron Age Britain and the wider world.

  • Explore the cave paintings of Lascaux, walk through the centre of Stonehenge, take a tour of long barrows and Iron Age round houses.

  • Learn about the chronology and major innovations of the Stone Age right the way through to Roman Britain.

  • Try traditional methods of flour making, wattling, using bow drills, cordage and making butter.

  • Learn a new skill with carding, spinning and weaving, handle real furs and learn about the changes in clothing during prehistory in Britain.

  • Participate in an artefact handling session, where children can handle and evaluate artefacts to help them understand the chronology of prehistoric Britain.
