Be part of history

Join our exciting afterschool workshops where curious minds explore the fascinating Stone Age through hands-on fun, creativity, and imagination. Delve into the lives of our ancestors, uncovering the tools they used, the art they created, and artefacts they invented. Engage in various activities designed to stimulate passion for historic developments on which our lives today are based, while making new friends and expanding your knowledge of this intriguing period.

Each session is dedicated to one particular subject that has shaped history from Stone Age to today. We'll be looking at how our ancestors used their imagination to find solutions with the materials that were available to them. Between crushing flowers for paint, weaving, clay work and making music instruments amongst other things, this hands-on approach to history will bring a fun appreciation of what came before us.
