The THI would like to thank Carrickfergus Museum for their permission to reproduce images of their collections and their archive.

The ‘Medieval Carrickfergus’ unit works in conjunction with the Museum’s ‘Tale of a Medieval Town’ workshop, in addition to the Kids’n’Castle app, freely available to download from both the iOS App Store and Android Play Store. 

Similarly, the Victorian Unit can act as an introduction or a follow-up exercise to the ‘Meet the Weatherups’ workshop.

For more information on the workshops available please visit our Learning and Education page.
