The Romans are coming and the Celtic tribes are going to stand up and resist!
The Celtic tribes of Britain before the Roman invasion were a complex, spiritual and proud people, with a culture that was older than their invaders. Revering ancient gods, sophisticated tribal structures and with a rich culture tied to their lands, animals and war.
Let our Celtic warrior explain what's at stake, what the Celtic culture is and why the Romans will lose! Learn about Celtic gods, chariots, hillforts and our greatest heroes.
Celtic experiences will include our Interactive Introduction, a craft project, a look at Celtic life and war and a chance to fight the Romans!
Available for Key Stages 2 upwards from Easter 2024
1066 is possibly the most significant date in English history, William of Normandy led one of the largest armies ever assembled across the Channel and defeated Harald Godwineson at the Battle of Hastings, just weeks after Harald had defeated a Norwegian army at Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire.
In 1086, William commissioned a great survey of his new kingdom, which he had controlled with his servants, relatives and knights. Although scholars have debated its purpose for nearly a thousand years, it is most likely to be a record of tax liability and patronage for the king to record what he reigned over.
Allow one of William's knights, newly installed on Saxon lands, to guide pupils through the Battle of Hastings, the Harrowing of the North, the convocation of the Domesday Book and the greatest period of castle building in the country's history.
Available for Key Stages 2 upwards.
The Great Fire of London came at the end of a chaotic period of British history, with the Restoration of the Monarchy and the Great Plague, and started a new era as London was rebuilt using Enlightenment principles, fusing the old and the new.
Our new immersive experiences take students into the aftermath of the Fire; let our fantastic educators guide your pupils through the causes of the fire, the ways it was fought, how Londoners survived and how they recovered.
Covering the timeline of the fire, teambuilding and cooperative games around fighting the fire and much more, all delivered in character and costume.
Great Fire of London experiences will be available from October 2023 all across England and Wales.
The Ancient Egyptians are one of history's most fascinating and evocative people. Cleopatra is closer in time to the motorcycle than she is to the building of the Great Pyramid. The tombs of the pharaohs were once the mighty pyramids but became the vaults of the Valley of the Kings. The simple mummies of the peasant buried in the desert were made in the same way as the gold-coffined bejewelled ones of the Kings of the Two Kingdoms.
Light Up History will be offering our brand new Ancient Egyptian Experience from September 2022 featuring a study of the building and architecture of Egypt, tales of the Gods and the Nile, a look at hieroglyphics and the way the Egyptians fought for their people, their pharaohs and their land.
Initially, Egyptian experiences will be available for Key Stage 2 only but we hope to expand this within the academic year.
Ancient Egyptian Experiences are available from 5th September 2022 and can be booked now
