Excellent destination for a KS2 trip. Would recommend for future years, try to arrange for last quarter of topic term. (March 2022 - Primary School)




Staff were very accomodating for the range of needs of our children. The cahracters portrayed were fully taken on board by our Y2 children. The information given to the children was great and the activities memorable. (December 2019 - Primary School)




Fab day out with fantastic staff (July 2019 - Primary School)




A great first hand experience for KS1 children of life as a Victorian servant. (May 2019 - Primary School)




Long journey for us (April 2019 - Primary School)




Holdenby House is a fantastic learning experience for the children and due to the drama/role play aspect, the children get to experience what it would feel like to be a servant in Victorian times. The selection of artefacts as well as the planned activities in the house add to the quality of the learning and the 'hands on' nature of the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this visit to another school who were learning about Victorians. (April 2019 - Primary School)
