SCHOOLS
Instead of the hassle of taking your class out of school let AotP bring the history to you.
We provide an interactive presentation to suit all ages and abilities.
A full day of presentations and activities provide a unique and enjoyable way of learning for all. Prior to a visit you will recieve simple pattern ideas for costumes. This will help give an understanding about dress in the medieval era and help build the excitement. On the day of the visit everyone will feel more involved and enjoy the experience even more. Customised Lesson Plans can also be provided which will include various activities for the day.
'Age of the Princes visited Connah's Quay for the 4th year in succession, and as usual the Y7's had a fantastic day learning about life in medieval Wales. This is a must for all secondary schools as History is brought to life especially the horrible
parts! A fantastic day. Already pencilled for next year.'

COUNTRY SHOWS
AotP is rural based and our love and knowledge of the countryside really comes across when we demonstrate rural life in the medieval period.
From the prestigious Flint and Denbigh County Show to smaller scale village fairs, our living history display really adds a new and fascinating attraction. Many aspects of rural medieval life are shown through the role of a forester and associated craftsmen. We answer questions such as: how did our ancestors hunt and prepare food? How did they deal with poachers and their dogs.
There are some superb examples of traditional skills on display such as leatherworking, bodging, fletching even herbal medicine can be featured depending on requirements and budget.
In the photo, left, at Caerwys Agricultural Show in 2011 the role of the forester is explained. Why he carries a sword and buckler shield for his protection, how he deals with hunting dogs and lots more.
Community Events
Liverpool based charity AFA commissioned AotP to organise workshops for the children of the Pentrefoelas and Ysbyty Ifan. The workshops involved medieval presentations to help inspire the children to paint shields, swords and tabbards. When the paint dried, AotP gave them 'drill practise' with some simple marching techniques.
Following the workshops the whole community were brought together at a medieval day featuring superb living history demonstrations. The children had the chance to show off their marching skills and artwork .
We awarded prizes for the best creations.
Corporate
AotP has been hired by various clients to raise the profile of Culture and Heritage in Wales.
The picture, left, shows AotP with Culture Minister Alun Ffred Jones at a Cadw project launch in Conwy Castle.
The Forestry Commission hired AotP for a presentation launch with Assembly Member Mike German.
The Welsh Government use AotP at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen to promote Wales through hands on presentations.
BBC/Green Bay Productions have used AotP on various medieval projects including 'Owain Glyndwr:the Last Welsh Prince' presented by Huw Edwards and 'Meet the Ancestors'.
We have worked for companies such as NWN Media at the National Eisteddfod and Flint and Denbigh County Show to promote their titles across Wales.
Holywood company, The Asylum, used AotP to supply extras and props for filming 'Merlin and the War of the Dragons'.
Fun and Learning
Bringing the past to life for a group of enthralled school
children, their teachers and quite a few parents. We met with Ysgol Abermule at Dolforwyn castle, Powys on a beautiful spring day 2012.
'What a class day!
All our children and parents really had a day to remember - many thanks for your presentation - a brilliant combination
of historic detail and dry humour which we all appreciated!
It was the sort of day I came into teaching for - a day that every boy and girl will remember for the rest of their lives!
Thank you so much.'
