Why arrange an Elizabethan England school trip?
Bring history to life
For 21st-century teenagers, Elizabethan England can feel like ancient history. But it was an important period in the history of England and, with some carefully chosen visits, it’s possible to bring the history to life for your students.
They’ll love exploring the Tudor and Elizabethan buildings in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where they’ll discover more about England’s most famous playwright, William Shakespeare.
And they’ll be blown away by the spectacular Kenilworth Castle and Kirby Hall, where they’ll see how the aristocracy lived and why the period has a reputation for opulence and showiness.
Depending on your programme of study, pick from a wide variety of activities to cover life in Tudor times and the world of Shakespeare. You can even learn more about the Stuarts, exploring the Personal Rule of Charles I and the Long Parliament.
Inspire them
Your Elizabethan England-themed trip is your opportunity to show your students just how exciting history can be.
By bringing this period to life, you’ll help your students to see that history happened to real people just like them, and that its effects are still felt today.
Your students will begin to realise just how useful the study of history can be for helping us to better understand the world around us. And this could lead to a real passion for history that could even see them taking their studies further.
