Thetford Castles Home Education Project Ancient House (second session is at Norwich Castle on 5 Oct)
With support from Thetford Educational Foundation Trust, we are offering all Home Educated 5-7 year olds in Thetford an opportunity to visit Norwich Castle Keep and discover the importance of their town castle with a workshop at Ancient House. Workshops and transport costs are covered by Thetford Educational Foundation Trust. By booking for this workshop at Ancient House you are also booking for the workshop at Norwich Castle on Monday 5 October 2026. You will need to be able to attend both days. Children will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times. We can accommodate younger siblings as long as they can be carried by the accompanying adult. Due to health and safety, we will not be able to accommodate any push chairs for the Norwich Castle Day. Coach transport to Norwich Castle will be provided, departing from Ancient House at 9am. Learn about Thetford Castle and Priory, handle and learn from real Medieval artefacts, explore new displays and meet costumed characters.
