Workshops

Edna enjoys presenting a range of educational workshops, lectures, 'show & tell' talks and craft sessions. These activities can be adapted for all age ranges from pre-schools to active age centres.

Edna  previously worked for 5 years with The National Trust & since becoming freelance has developed a wide client list which includes the Imperial War Museum & the Historic Royal Palaces. Edna has a CRB check, public liability insurance and is a member of the actors union Equity. 

Pre-school
Edna has developed sessions explaining the difference between 'old' and 'new' as an introduction to the concept of history.

First / Middle School
A series of 'show and tell' interactive sessions combined with pupils participating in scenarios and / or craft based workshops.

Secondary School
A mixture of 'show and tell' interactive lectures combined with discussion about social responsibility and citizenship. This can include interactive activities which are more appropriate to an older age group.

Edna's "old and new" pre-school workshop was nominated for a
Renaissance Heritage award.
