PRIMITIVE BUSHCRAFT
One of the very best interactive displays in the UK for its accuracy and ability to inspire visitors. Lewis demonstrates a variety of ancient crafts derived from Britain's prehistory, from flintknapping, fire making, cooking, hunting equipment use, bone & antler carving. The living history camp is filled with replica and reconstructed objects from prehistory and Lewis is on-hand to explain the folk lore and practical aspects of it all. visitors have found this display especially good for children that are studying prehistory in school (KS2 History.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you need vehicle access to the setup space?
Yes, as close as possible. Some of the equipment is very heavy.
Can you do the living history display indoors?
Yes, but this does restrict what I can offer. For example I could not do hot metal working with a furnace or have a cooking fire. I could still do crafts such as flintknapping or cold metal working. I can work with the space if there is a space concern then i will simply bring fewer things.
Do you provide risk assessments and have Public liability insurance?
Yes, risk assessments will be provided after a booking has been made. I have Public liability insurance with an indemnity limit of £10,000,000.
Can people have a go as a drop-in session?
Yes, visitors would have the opportunity to handle and have a go with the guidance and tuition of Lewis, although visitors would have a more in depth participation during a workshop.
