Schools/Children's Groups Itinerary
Here's a example of one of our specialist tours suitable for use by primary schools and children's groups.
9.30am - Meet in the parking area of the Pilgrim Fathers Pub and Restaurant, Scrooby.
9.35am to 10.00am - travel to Babworth.
10.00am to 10.10am - disembark from the coach,
walk along a public footpath to All Saints Church (large coaches may have
difficulty in turning and parking at this building).
10.10am to 10.30am – at All Saints Church, Babworth:
"Cat-astrophe!" (Presented by Russell Hocking)
The world-changing Pilgrim Fathers saga is introduced through a likely
perspective of William Brewster's children and their friends. A fat-cat
police state – already shaken by the religiously inspired Gunpowder Plot of
1605 – reacted with 'teeth and claws' as seemingly mouse-like 'little
people' began to challenge the status quo and sought the freedom to live,
think and worship according to Bible-based ways of pleasing God.
10.30am to 10.45am - comfort break and snack time
10.45am to 11.15am – "Mouse Hunt" (Presented by Russell Hocking)
We explore what Separatist children were likely to have experienced as the
State/Church authorities hunted down, persecuted, and jailed them and their
parents. Family members were separated as they attempted to flee England in
a desperate bid to find new and peaceful lives for themselves in Holland.
At the end of this presentation everyone will be invited to hunt for the eight "hidden" mice carved into the furniture at the Babworth church by the once well-known Robert 'Mousey' Thompson.
