This year we played host to thousands of Year 6, 10 and 12 pupils from all over the country for 3 days of ‘hands on’ history! Blending talks by eminent historians with interactive living history and demonstrations, this is a crucial part of what we do at the festival and we are thrilled to have received such a positive response again this year. Here’s a short video with Richard Salmon from Canford School, who sponsored our Year 6 day, talking about why he thinks it is so special.
The Year 10 and 12 days are generously sponsored by Rathbone Brothers Plc.
