Time Talkers provides an exciting, accessible and fun way of teaching history . Timetalkers have built a well known reputation as one of the leading specialists in bringing living history to schools and museums across the region . Our Visits are designed to relate to the history national curriculum which states pupils should have the opportunity to study the reasons why people came to Britain and to learn about the way of life of these peoples of the past . We achieve this by allowing children to see , touch , smell and even wear a wide range of period artefacts and include them in various games and demonstrations .

Why choose Time Talkers

There are many reasons to choose Time Talkers to visit your school , the cost is one . All Schools have to watch their Budgets and need to be seen to offer value for their money . Time Talkers meets both these criteria especially when judged against an out of school visit , in almost every case the cost of the coach hire alone is more than the cost of a visit from Time Talkers , plus we spend as much time as the teachers want with the children so every body feels as if they have seen and heard everything .

We at Time Talkers feel that children are more likely to retain the Knowledge that Time Talkers passes on by interacting rather than just reading out of a text book , this is because they are touching , feeling , smelling and having Fun while they are learning and to us that’s what it's all about .

People who we have worked for : British Museum Touring Ancient Greek Exhibition ,Carlisle Castle Discovery Museum , Washington Old hall , South shields museum & art Gallery , Arbeia Roman fort Tyne & Wear museums magic bus programm , heworth learning centre , Primary schools from South Tyneside , North Tyneside , Cleveland , Northumberland , Co.Durham , Cumbria to name a few .

Time Talkers Visits are fun and educational for all .

Period Activities

We find that if the children are given enough time before the visit they can make a period costume to wear during Time Talkers visit . This helps with the atmosphere and adds to the childrens enjoyment , this is a good addition to the school visit but where possible Timetalkers will supply a range of costumes .
