History Alive in Schools
Bringing History to life since 1997
Please check here for available dates and upcoming bookings
Thankfully we have seen a return to full service after the whole Covid scenario and school year 2022-23 has proven to be one of my busiest ever. Spring Term 2023 saw me with a full diary so EARLY BOOKING is now advised if you want me to visit your class to help bring your school project ALIVE.
I have had to mark my calendar up a little differently than previously since I need to assess whether or not I can feasibly visit your school in light of any other bookings/commitments which are already in the diary. I have also recently been having transport issues so distances might prove an issue until I secure a new vehicle.
* Unavailable dates are just that - unavailable and this is due to me possibly travelling on these dates to facilitate longer distance bookings either prior to or after the date in question OR merely changing over gear into the van, logistics days if you like or actually taking some family time/hubbies hospital visits etc.
** Available for a stated topic - basically I now have such big collections of equipment that if one topic is loaded in the van already for a previous workshop and it's the same workshop the next day then it isn't viable to start unloading and reloading and I will only take the stated topic on that date.
*** Possibly Available dates - owing to the sheer number of enquiries this term I am having to carefully schedule bookings so whether I can service your school on your chosen day will now have to be assessed carefully to make sure I can accommodate travel, working from different bases, logistical/prop change overs etc. etc. If you want me on one of the dates marked possibly available then please get in touch and i'll see if I can fit you in. (This is not a multi-person enterprise, it is me, myself and I & I can only be in one place at a time!!). Many thanks.
My diary is updated daily with any fresh bookings added so check here for your choice of date and then send me a message - you can contact via the online enquiry form here on the website. Ping me an email to historyaliveinschools@yahoo.com or PM on Facebook. Telephone calls are hit and miss if you are in school or I am or am driving etc.
Bookings now being accepted for School Year 2023 - 2024 and I look forward to seeing lots of you over coming months.

I am TEMPORARILY not accepting further bookings for January onwards - my poorly husband has been urgently called to see his liver consultant in Edinburgh on 11th December and we aren't aware of what the urgency is and what that indicates as regards his condition and what future treatment plans may entail. We won't know until after the appointment in Edinburgh what the impact on my availability might be. Fingers cross that after 11th December I will know more and will hopefully reopen my diary a.s.a.p. Thank you for your patience.
