Prices for a lighting session start from £150 per session and will be subject to additional travel fees where applicable. (We are based in Shropshire in the West Midlands)

There are various focuses within these sessions, you can create a newspaper article, a tv report a radio report, a drama piece, a dance routine, some art work. So many options available and each one is adapted to be bespoke to the school we are visiting.
Meet and Greets provide hot seat questioning, activities led by the character if required and plenty of photographic opportunities. Whether you want Henry VIII and someone from the court to visit or Florence Nightingale, Boudicca or Samuel Pepys - there are a variety of characters you can meet.
