Step into the past with our fortnightly History Workshops — designed exclusively for home-educated children and hosted at Stevenage Museum. Each session offers a hands-on, story-led journey into a different period of history, led by the museum’s experienced Education Officer.

Children will explore artefacts, come in wear costumes (where appropriate), and immerse themselves in the real experiences of people from the past. Whether it's joining a Roman household, applying to be a Victorian servant, or experiencing school in the 1800s — these workshops make history memorable, meaningful, and fun.

🎓 What to Expect

• Small group sessions with other home ed children

• Mixture of object handling, role play, and storytelling

• Opportunities to dress up for some sessions (optional)

• Suitable for ages 6–12 (varies slightly by session)

• Held fortnightly on Thursdays, 2:00–3:30pm

• Optional social lunch at 1:00pm — bring your own food and meet other families!

  IMPORTANT: Years are suggested only, parents may use their own discretion — some older children may enjoy joining in with younger-themed sessions, and some younger children might be ready for the older topics, depending on their experience and confidence.

📚 Extend the Learning at Home

Each session is supported with optional pre-session materials which will be emailed ahead of the workshop.  Resources are designed to help children arrive curious and ready to explore. We include links to child-friendly videos, vocabulary, and suggested activities to build wider historical understanding — without spoiling the hands-on learning of the workshop.
