Interactive Sessions

What?

For my interactive sessions, I bring to you myself in full period costume, and a selection of props, which the audience can interact with, to a greater or lesser degree, as well as an info board detailing contemporary sources and archaeological finds.

When?

I can offer sessions in the evening, at the weekend, and during school holidays.

Where?

I will work for/at organisations (such as the Women's Institute or Scouts), venues (such as Moyses Hall Museum or West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village), and events (such as village fetes). Indoors or outdoors.

Who?

Depending on the session - most are suitable for ages 7 years and upwards. Other ages would need parental support or supervision. Some of the information/tasks may not be suitable for the very young.
