Sorry ATOH has been so quiet but as many of you know Andy, my husband and founder of A Touch of History died in August last year. I will be continuing with ATOH in some way shape or form, but for now I am still processing and coming to terms with it all. I'm not actively looking for new bookings but if you have an event please do get in touch. Cara

We look forward to seeing you 31st July, 11am until 3pm at Erewash Museum for a taster of creative activities highlighting Erewash Festival of Light.
This will be your last chance to see the EFL Days exhibition in the Lally Gallery and have an opportunity to do some related crafts and activities including some traditional Chinese music and stories, all linking us back to our popular festival period.
This is a free fun day with no booking required.

We’re up at Nottingham Castle, with Cara doing a photo shoot as Miss Kirkby, an eccentric lady who lived at the castle with her monkeys!
Am I a little bit in love with one if the items for our festival of light resources for Erewash Museum?

Thought I’d post our British Civil Wars era living history tent since it’s a while since we got to play with it.... fancy a game of I-spy? What objects can you spot?

Hello world. After our long hibernation, and since we’re back doing some work.... we thought we’d start sharing some of our collection of historical artefacts and replicas, and for a bit of fun ask you to identify them.
Keep it family friendly please!

Just checking in.... we’ve been pretty quiet what with degrees, dissertations and lockdowns going on, but we are currently doing some heritage work creating resource boxes for a local museum.
Hope to see more of you when things get back to almost-normal!
