History Alive in Schools
Bringing History to life since 1997
Please check here for available dates and upcoming bookings
Please find below my availability diary for the session 2025 - 2026. As per earlier in the year I am only going to be taking around three bookings per week to enable me to do the backstage logistics and to retain a degree of flexibilty should additional dates be required for changes.
As hubby gradually regains a degree of independence I hope to be able to extend my reach going forward this year though I will principally sticking to my core areas of Western Scotland but definitely within my area of operations as per map on Background & Booking Costs Page ... don't be afraid to ask - particularly if I have visited your school previously!
Obviously, hubby being post liver transplant still requires to attend frequent appointments and whilst I aim to honour any requested date I trust you will be understanding if I have to amend bookings should the need arise.
My diary will be updated on a daily basis as and when bookings come in. Email booking requests to - historyaliveinschools@yahoo.com or use our Online Enquiry / Booking Form . I did get very busy in the latter part of school year 2024-25 when I resumed trading so I fully anticipate and expect dates to quickly fill up as we go into this next session.
Please note - I am currently having to work around a major programme of works in our home (which our landlord has landed on us out of the blue) -
I am getting dates at relatively short notice as to when workmen need to be in our property between now and March so whilst I am taking bookings there may potentially be some disruption and possible need to amend dates if the workmen need access or if their presence prevents me getting my props and equipment out and organized and I trust schools will be understanding if I do need to alter dates. From March onwards I should be all clear but at the moment I know it's an absolute nightmare for curriculum planning but I will work around them the best I can and still hope to run things as normal.
