Loan boxes for schools:


Here at Parsons Period Presentations (PPP) we believe that handling historical objects is a great way to learn.

Take objects from our collection into the classroom with our loan box service.
Each box comes with Photographs to link the objects to the period, a full explanation and information regarding each object.

We currently offer World war One and World War Two related loan boxes.  Boxes cost £100 for a half term and £150.00 for a full term.

Please Contact Parsons Period Presentations via the Contact form on this site in order to inquire about availability.
