Stone age workshops for schools across Greater Manchester

Looking for a high-impact Stone Age workshop in Manchester? The History Guy delivers fully immersive, curriculum-linked sessions directly to your school — transforming your grounds into a prehistoric environment where pupils don’t just learn about the Stone Age, they experience it.

Each session is built around doing, not just listening. Pupils handle real materials, take part in practical activities, and explore how people lived, survived, and adapted in prehistoric Britain. It’s a full school day experience designed to maximise engagement without the cost or logistics of leaving site.

Schools across Greater Manchester choose this workshop as a powerful alternative to traditional trips — bringing a memorable, hands-on experience directly to their pupils.

Sessions are delivered across Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan.
