Prehistory Adventure

Immerse Your Class in Prehistory and Sleep in a Roundhouse!

3 Day 2 Night Prehistory School Residential Trip

Spend the first day learning primitive skills from the Stone Age including flint knapping demonstrations to den building.

Then stay overnight sleeping in one of our amazing roundhouses. We have five 6m diameter roundhouses which are packed with modern comforts including: radiator heating, WiFi, electricity, lighting, painted insulated floor and walls, each one has a set of soft gym mats to cover the floor so the children have a comfortable night’s sleep in their sleeping bags. We provide guest beds for teachers, so all you need to bring is a sleeping bag and pillow!

After afternoon and evening activities, you can sit down to your delicious BBQ dinner.

Spend the second day as an early Iron Age Farmer, learn fire-lighting and after a second sleepover in the roundhouses, take part in the Warrior Day with clan challenges!
