LONGSHANKS & Talesman - Services

Tourist Visiting Southern England.

Visiting the historic landscape of Southern England:-

• Want something more than the usual guided tours?
• Want a unique event that points to the special features of historic places rather than being given the superficial facts without context?
• Want the magic and the math?
• Something to gently engage the mind, the imagination and the body?
• Something both informing and entertaining?
• Something more unusual yet civilised?
• Access to local knowledge on places to visit?

Longshanks & Talesman have the answer. Book either of the following as part of your tour.

Guided Walks.

Gentle rural walks to fascinating historical sites with frequent stops for interpretation of archaeological remains, short informative sketches, relevant stories, occasional poems and a pub lunch. The audience are frequently physically involved, handling real archaeological finds or replicas, and becoming part of the reconstructions of the past, such as standing on the sites of post holes to create an iron age roundhouse.

See our list of existing walks.

Events.

Longshanks & Talesman specialise in site specific events, working to create an interface of interpretation and imagination between the you and the site using relevant archaeological facts and mythology. These are normally promenade events round the site, where the past is brought to life by combining instructive, entertaining lecture and lively storytelling with theatre techniques. Period musicians can also be called upon for added atmosphere.

They will give you the local knowledge and the book knowledge, in a friendly approachable manner.

Walks and events can be tailored to your needs. They can easily include references to particular people, activities, or 'in-jokes'.

If none of our existing events or walks suit, we can research and develop a walk across a landscape of your choice or a site specific event for you, be it Castle, Medieval Hall, Abbey, Hillfort, or Prehistoric Landscape.
