Most history events are forgettable. Pick a better one.

Four ways to get stuck in.

You've been to the polite talk, the plodding tour and the lifeless workshop. They all blur into one. Walks, talks, theatre, workshops, pick the format that fits your audience and we'll do the bit nobody else does: make them care.

Blimey! Walks
On Foot

Blimey! Walks

You booked a walking tour and got a flat monologue past three plaques. Nobody laughed. Nobody remembered a thing. Our walks tread the same cobbles as kings, killers and commoners, by lantern, by daylight, by complete surprise. You'll leave with stories you'll repeat for years.

  • Public + private tours
  • Lantern night walks
  • Custom routes for groups
An Audience With
In Conversation

An Audience With

You hired a speaker. They read off slides. Half the audience checked their phones. An Audience With is the opposite, an intimate evening of stories, scandal and questions, with a proper conversation in the room. No slides. No script. No topic off-limits.

  • Intimate, conversational format
  • Audience Q&A throughout
  • Perfect for theatres, libraries & festivals
Blimey! Theatre
In Character

Blimey! Theatre

You've sat through a costumed historian reciting facts at the front of the room. Painful. Our theatre shows put Henry VIII in front of you so you can ask him anything. Boudica wants a word. Real characters, real questions, the kind of show people still talk about on the bus home.

  • Solo character pieces
  • Multi-actor ensemble shows
  • Audience interaction guaranteed
Blimey! Workshops
Hands On

Blimey! Workshops

Textbooks lose pupils by page two. Our workshops hand them a plague-doctor mask, an ancient cipher and a forensic puzzle, and turn them into history detectives for an afternoon. Curriculum-linked. KS1 through KS5. The bit of the term they actually remember.

  • KS1–KS5 packages
  • Replica artefact kits
  • Curriculum linked
