We’re so pleased to hear how much the students from King Charles Primary School benefited from their recent ‘Discovery Workshop’ at Carn Euny. Led by our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline, students spent a jam-packed day exploring this incredible ancient settlement and it was wonderful to see how excited they were to get stuck in!
“Caroline is an expert in her field and had so much useful knowledge to share. We loved listening to her round up the session whilst eating lunch. She is brilliant at talking to children and we found that they were very focused. Amazing lady!”
“Being there in the sunshine and imagining the past was really exciting. Handling artefacts was also a really special thing to do.”
“We loved going underground into the fogou and thought about its possible reason for being.”
The workshop was provided free of charge as part of our Discovery Workshops Programme. This programme is part-funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund.
Transport for the trip was funded by our School Transport Grants Scheme. This academic year’s transport grants are part-funded by Cornish Lithium.
We offer a wide range of free and subsidised workshops at our historic sites as part of our Discovery Programme, and feedback like this shows what inspiring learning experiences they are.
Our on-site workshops are provided to schools, alternative education provision and community groups free of charge. For those struggling with the cost of petrol and vehicle hire, you can also apply for one of our transport grants to support your visit.
