Educational Visits: Bringing History to Life

Our in-person workshops bring the British Civil Wars and the Battle of Naseby to life through engaging storytelling, practical demonstrations, and hands-on activities with period weapons and armour.

Sessions explore the events of 1645, the people involved, and the battleā€™s lasting legacy.

The 90 minute workshops can be delivered from EYFS pupils to A Level students, whole schools, key stages, or individual year groups, adapting the material and delivery as required.

Our team is made up from a mixture of permanent staff Ā and volunteers from the military, business and re-enactment societies ā€“ The Sealed Knot.

The sessions are designed to make this pivotal period fun, memorable, and easy to understand.

They are free of charge for state funded schools thanks to National Lottery players. Independent schools are welcome to contact us for more details.

The highlight was taking part in pike drills, where students discovered how much strength and teamwork was needed to move in formation with the heavy weapons. There was plenty of laughter and concentration as they practised the moves soldiers once relied upon in battle.

Our Year 8 students had a fantastic time yesterday taking part in an immersive workshop on the English Civil War run by the Naseby Project. As part of their learning, they explored the key figures in the conflict and even had the opportunity to dress up in period clothing and handle replica weapons. The sessions brought their learning to life and helped them understand the experience of soldiers during this important moment in British history.
