Will you have the courage to join Grace Darling, lighthouse keeper’s daughter, on this extraordinary adventure? In this Grace Darling KS1 school workshop, explore the life and achievements of an ordinary Victorian girl whose entire life changed one dramatic night in 1838.
What schools say
“I was delighted with the provision offered by Steve and One Day Creative. From the outset, Steve was enthusiastic and boundless in his desire to ensure a great day for our reception children. His accessible and genial nature quickly put our children at ease. Learning about the life and times of Grace Darling was a great choice and most importantly was pitched perfectly, so much so that we have used similar tableau's in a recent assembly. Prior to the event, your administration which included hefty discussion and reassurance was also brilliant. I explained to you that I hadn't set up a trip or visit before and you very kindly supported me through the process and ensured an extremely positive outcome. In summary, this was a great event delivered by One Day Creative and I would return without hesitation to secure your services in the future. Thank you so much.”
