Back to the Middle Ages Holiday Program

Join us for a fun-packed day as we travel back in time to the Middle Ages.

Discover what life was like in Medieval Europe amongst knights, monks and kings.

Play, build, cook and create.

We will explore everyday life, art and science from the time and cook a meal medieval peasants would have eaten everyday.

This program is best suited to 8 to 12 year old students.
