May the 20th will be the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth – so why not celebrate it with a visit from The Lady With the Lamp herself?

Florence Nightingale

A Visit from Florence Nightingale opens with an assembly for participating year groups, followed by workshops for a class at a time. Using  a range of age appropriate, drama-based techniques, Florence will help pupils learn about her life, times and achievements, her differences with Mary Seacole and the debts modern-day health care owes them both. She’ll answer their questions (we’ll provide you with a structure to  generate some of these in advance) – and leave each child with a beautifully designed Timeline to complete!

"Ten out of ten! I was taken aback by just how good the Time Travel Theatre actors were – and by the impacts the workshops had on the pupils!” History Co-ordinator, Christ Church Primary
