Workshops for Schools at Torre Abbey

History where it actually happened… that’s what we offer at Taleblazers. Come and explore a building that has witnessed events spanning 800 years with a pivotal role in the history of Torbay. 

We have partnered with Torre Abbey, who are passionate about sharing the power of storytelling to inspire children as they walk in the footsteps of the people who made history here. Forget virtual reality – we provide the real thing to make your teaching come alive. 

Our workshops link Torre Abbey with your classroom studies, focussing on first-hand evidence while providing clear links with learning outcomes. We are currently offering trips linked to the Medieval and Tudor time periods and our themed packs include an introduction to the general history of the Abbey; all the information needed to prepare pupils for a visit. The worksheets demonstrate how, during their visit, pupils will exercise not only historical understanding but other key analytical skills.

To book an educational visit or for more information, get in touch with Torre Abbey.


Here is Kev, our resident storyteller, cooking up a storm in the medieval kitchen.

Swan innards for dinner, anyone?

Anyone…?

Giving the children a fun, memorable experience to enjoy is at the heart of what we do.
