History Makers Events
This February half term, join us at one of our fantastic family-friendly History Makers' events taking place at historic sites across the country.
Enrol in sword school at Battle Abbey in Hastings, hear stories of Britain's Civil War at Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, or practise your spear throwing at Stonehenge. At Belsay Hall in Northumberland, children can enjoy not one but three plays exploring life in Victorian times. And it's panto season in the grounds at Brodsworth in South Yorkshire, with the glamorous Georgians.
Kids will love exploring history through these unique, fun, hands-on events.
