Museums, Festivals and Events
With our services for museums, festivals and events we can provide our expert historical interpreter to educate and entertain your visitors.
Ideal for school holiday programmes, school group visits, or as an added attraction to your normal offerings, our event services offer a wide range of activities to all age groups.
Our very knowledgeable costumed interpreter can come with a wide range of replica artefacts for your visitors to handle, thus saving your own valuable resources. Whether it is simple handling and storytelling sessions for your youngest visitors, or specialist talks for adults, we can cater for a wide range of situations.
“What a great event! The Vikings invaded the Barrow Dock Museum with a longboat, weapons, outfits, replica equipment and most of all a whole lot of fabulous information on the Vikings, A great day for children and adults alike. Thank you, we hope you’ll be back!”
