SERVICES

Whether you need a well informed, costumed interpreter for a heritage site, a friendly interactive workshop session for all ages and interests, a specialist contributor for film, radio or other media, or want to commission a beautifully made object inspired by historic artefacts, we can help.

We pride ourselves on being approachable and professional and are always willing to tailor our services to suit your specific needs. We've worked with some of the most prestigious heritage organisations in the world, and we're continually developing our own skills to enable us to reflect an ever increasing range of skills and historical time-periods.

We are part of Ancient Media, a team of specialist craftspeople and archaeological researchers who provide demonstrations, technical expertise, props & costume to media companies and museums in the UK and beyond.
