Education Resources
The Education Pack and accompanying resources have been developed as part of the Carrickfergus Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) Education Programme. All documents and resources can be downloaded for free and are aimed at enhancing awareness of the town’s history, from the Anglo-Norman knights of the 1170s to the Knight Ride of the 1990s. How has the town changed and why? This resource will be both useful for local schools as well as any school undertaking a visit to Carrickfergus Castle or Museum.
