Schools’ History Festival
Thursday 23rd May 2024
The ultimate day of History Time Travel! Over 2,000 years of history in one day!
Encounter history from a range of different eras brought to life by 150 or so of Kentwell’s skilled living history interpreters, spread in separate 'pockets' throughout the buildings, gardens, farm and woodlands. Spend a whole day immersed in history at Kentwell and travel through time seeing each separate era or choose to concentrate upon those most relevant to current studies.
An excellent and stimulating combination of history and nostalgia, over 2000 years of history in one place, on one day - only at Kentwell!

Important Information

Our Schools’History Festival taking place on the 23rd May 2024.

We ask that schools arrive around 30 minutes prior to their booked entry time, to allow for a snack and toilet break prior to entry.
-
There are entry time slots every ten minutes from 9:00am until 13:30pm. E.g. 9:00am, 9:10am, 9:20am etc. Please note, each entry time slot has a max capacity of around 30 pupils. Subsequently, schools wishing to book in for upwards of 30 pupils will need to be booked in across two time slots.
-
You book for between 15 and 30 pupils (larger numbers need additional time slots) to enter as a group at a set time (to be strictly adhered to).

The group stays within the Re-Creation without a break (so as not to disturb the notion of having stepped back in time) for about 3 to 3.5 hours.

When booking coaches, schools should allow a further 30 minutes after exiting the Re-Creation (for snacks & WC etc).
