Time Trips delivers full day in-school workshops on ancient history and science subjects in primary schools in the North West of England. The teacher, Tony North (that's me), will visit schools within 50 minutes' drive of Manchester (see map). I also deliver 30-minute Zoom talks to any school in the world. Follow the links to each workshop to learn more.

  ZOOM TALKS! Exciting 30 minute lessons on all topics

I have carefully designed each lesson to engage children with educational and exciting hands-on activities, such as making models and artefacts, role play, drama, and games. The lessons are fully compatible with the curriculum, and are regularly updated and improved.

The creative activities are of a very high standard compared to other history or science workshops. In spite of this the price is lower than the average cost of a school visit, because I design all the resources and activities myself, and also because I am self-employed, so there is no one taking a cut of my fee.

Workshops last a full day and take place mainly in the classroom. Tony is a former history teacher with an MEd and an MSc in child psychology (see Tony's CV).

You can now read the whole of my novel, Marathon, on this website. I wrote it in 2009 and self-published it. It is a story about two boys and their father who were in the battle of Marathon, and is suitable for older children.

COVID-19: I will take all precautions necessary to ensure the safety of children and school staff. At a minimum this will entail following any guidelines laid down by the school, as well as by the government. If in the future I develop Covid symptoms, or am exposed to anyone with symptoms, I will postpone the booking.
