A famous storyteller - a Scop - is coming to visit the Castle!
The storyteller wants to look around and join in with medieval castle life, before everyone gathers in the evening to share the story of ‘George and the Dragon’
Children will dress up and be given a medieval name to help them get into character for the workshop.
They will enact scenes of daily life as the story teller explores the castle with them, including dancing, jousting, tapestry and blacksmithing.
Finally, the whole castle joins the visiting Scop to share the Tale of ‘George and the Dragon’.
A memorable and hands-on learning experience of medieval castle life, including the names and functions of the different parts of a medieval castle, and who you might find in which part, doing what.
This workshop will bring to life fieldwork you might be doing - for example Corfe Castle in Purbeck, or Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight.
Age guide: 4-10yrs. (Limited places)
Tickets - £12 per child
Please bring a drink and a small snack if you want for our break. (no nuts please)

SAFEGUARDING POLICY
Treehouse Theatre provides educational entertainment rather than child care, and children remain the responsibility of their parent or carer at all times. A parent (or their designated responsible adult) must remain in the hall or very close by. We have access to a kitchen for tea and coffee, and will create a space where you can chat so that conversations don’t disturb the workshop.
If you leave the premises you must tell our team and ensure you have left a phone number we can contact you on, and let us know who your designated responsible adult is, in your absence. Children may not be left without either a parent or designated responsible adult. Please don’t leave children who may need your support to access the workshop. Adults are welcome to join in alongside their children, especially if they require support to access the activity.
All Treehouse actors have a current DBS certificate which can be seen, and follow Equity’s guidelines for working with young people.
