During this immersive workshop, children will step back into the Victorian era to explore the world Florence Nightingale lived and worked in. They’ll travel to the Scutari hospital during the Crimean War, using improvisation to experience the harsh conditions faced by nurses and soldiers. Along the way, they’ll learn about Mary Seacole and the prejudice she overcame, and bring Florence’s inspiring story to life through drama and poetry.

"There was such a range of activities within the workshops so all children were kept engaged and interested. It was not only informative but also gave the children the opportunity to participate in a range of drama activities to help them understand what it was like for Florence. I am sure that this will lead to some excellent writing over the coming days and weeks."
Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom. The Drama Hut was founded in 2012, as a resource for primary schools, to help bring the curriculum to life and support learning. Whether you choose to have us visit you online or on-site, our workshops are delivered live, offering an interactive learning experience for all primary school aged children throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.
We require a clear space to work in and at least one member of staff to be present. We work with a maximum of 30 children at a time, unless prearranged with the school.
