Question 3

How much does a workshop cost?

We do not set prices per workshop but charge a half or full day rate depending on the amount of time we need. This is dependent on a number of factors: the number of children taking part, what you'd like (some workshops are longer than others) and your school timetable.

Contact us and we can talk through your individual requirements and structure a visit to ensure you get real value for money.

Accepted Answer

From Nursery through to Year 6 with content suitably adapted where necessary. Specific key stage information is displayed on each workshop page.

Do you use props and costumes?

Accepted Answer

In our workshops, very selectively and only where appropriate. We prefer to encourage and inspire the children to use their imaginations at all times.

Question 6

Is a classroom ok to work in?

Accepted Answer

We need a large space to allow children to take an active part - a school hall is perfect. We often work in halls that need to be used for lunchtime and can modify our timetable to accommodate this. If the hall is unavailable, please check with us to discuss possible alternatives.

Question 7

What equipment do you need?

Accepted Answer

We bring our own laptop and speaker. A school projector and screen are essential. 
P.S. A cup of tea is always welcome!
