Hidden Histories: Using the Narrative to Find the Bigger Story
Fantastic FREE CPD Event for Teachers and General Enthusiasts Alike!
The Historical Association, in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces is pleased to announce two fantastic FREE events for teachers and general enthusiasts.
Form and flyer attached below.
Our Hidden Histories events will draw upon the stories from the rich archives of both Kensington Palace and Hampton Court to delve deeper and find the bigger story behind each of these majestic venues, whilst at the same time busting a few myths!
If your curriculum would benefit from exploring the hidden stories that these venues have to tell, and you would like to develop your use of the narrative in your history lessons or if you simply would like to know more about the hidden depths of these great palaces and the people that have inhabited them then this is the event for you.
Including a free tour of the venue, these events are sure to book up quickly, so don't forget to get in early to ensure your free place. The programme of each event follows below. Final details of workshops and booking information will follow soon, so look out for updates. We look forward to seeing you there.
