Armed Forces day, Trafford Park.
Both the performers were amazing – I had lots of compliments about both and the d day talk was moving people to tears. We will definitely be booking them again! They were also polite, professional and friendly and you could tell they were both passionate about what they do.
Gemma Smith – Upminster Old Chapel
Kate Vigurs of History’s Maid delivered a three day training course on Costumed Interpretation at The Old Chapel in Upminster in April 2013. The course was thorough, yet accessible and fun. It was well planned, with many different methods used to learn including discussion, group activities and media content. All of the participants came away having met the aims they hoped to achieve and more; all of them rated the training as excellent. Above all, all those that attended learnt a lot about The Old Chapel, interpretation methods and education in a heritage setting in an engaging way and left excited for the next step in our project”
