A packed day - without the worksheets

Kynren is a little different from a traditional museum or educational attraction.

We don’t build the day around classroom-style talks, workshops or activity packs. Instead, pupils experience history, stories and characters through live performance and the environments around them.

With five shows to experience, it makes for a pretty packed – and memorable – school day.
