We recommend visiting Talbot House on your battlefields trip for a unique and personal perspective on WW1.
Your students will be introduced to the history of the house, with the opportunity to explore the many fascinating rooms and floors of the house, all brimming with their own stories and anecdotes.
Groups that visit Talbot House are encouraged to experience it in their own way; whether it's sketching, writing a letter home to their families, or playing cricket in the beautiful gardens. In the Dining Hall, they are encouraged to play a tune on the original piano as soldiers once did, and enjoy time together over a nice cup of tea and lunch.
Watch our video to hear more from Simon Louagie, Manager at Talbot House, about why school groups still choose to visit the house today.
At Anglia we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. These key principles define who we are and what we do. We believe they are also the reason why Anglia is the market leader in fully-guided history trips for UK schools. We work with you to design a bespoke tour, which meets the specific needs of your school and supports what you are teaching in class. We start by asking what you want your students to see and what you want them to experience then build the tour around these requirements. A tour which, as the testimonials on our website show, your students will find thought-provoking, engaging and enjoyable.
