World War I: East Anglia in the Great War

Full day, £6 per pupil, Half day - 2 hour workshop, £4 per pupil

This high energy, interactive event has been tailor made to engage and excite high school pupils about their local history. Delivered by professional actors and museum educators, pupils are able to live the history themselves as they meet various characters whom contributed to the War effort:

Major Bertie Cadbury

Part of the famous chocolate making family, Bertie became known as 'Zeppelin Killer' after downing a number of the German airships over Great Yarmouth. Bertie is a typical WWI pilot: loud, slightly crazy and overly confident, and he needs new volunteers to get up on the saddle and take to the skies (for an average of 20 minutes before being shot down). Bertie will test whether your pupils are quick, posh and crazy enough to make it as a WWI pilot; they won't forget him in a hurry!

Can be booked as an all day joint offer with St George's Theatre, Great Yarmouth. Pupils walk between the two sites and visit the site of the first Zeppelin raid on England, Great Yarmouth 1915 and the WWI war memorial in St George's Park. Email to discuss options for your school.

Hilda Clark

Meet Hilda Clark a nurse who is doing her best to treat the injured and inflicted, she has much to deal with and cannot do it all alone. Students will need to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in to assist her with sanitation, cleaning, identifying medical equipment and caring for the injured. It's not for the feint hearted!

Jack Ellis

Pupils will go down to our re-created trench to get a real feel for the conditions young soldiers faced on the frontline. This atmospheric session allows pupils to handle and try on a real WWI soldier's kit, including rifle, helmets and boots. The smells, sounds and sights are all designed to bring the experience to life.

We can take 60 pupils at a time for 2 hours. Get in touch today to enquire about travel bursaries and discount rates.

'It brought the history from the classroom to life and allowed the students to really think about what it must have been like to live through war. It also provided a local context for a world war.' - Long Stratton High School teacher, Year 8

'It was really interactive. It gave you a good insight in to what it was like for the people rather than it being distant. You got a first hand experience.' - Long Stratton High School pupil, Year 8.

'I really enjoyed doing the activities with the actors. It was so much fun and I learned a lot doing it too.' - Cliff Park High pupil, Year 10.

'It was a really fun way to learn! I loved flying the plane and getting my hands on real objects from the War.' - Benjamin Britten High pupil. Year 9.
