Discover History was established in 2003 by Paul & Helen Harding. Both are professional historical performers that like to concentrate on providing historical accuracy and authenticity through demonstrating the personal lives of how our ancestors lived, worked and enjoyed their pastimes. From the brave & adventurous right down to the unfortunate, we tell the story of them all. Regular clients range from English Heritage to the BBC.
Covering over a million years of history
We offer an interactive and hands-on experience suitable to all ages and abilities. From Stone Age hunter gatherers to tales of the Moon landing, we cover it all.

"I have known and worked with Paul and Helen of Discover History for over 10 years and in all that time I have found them to be creative, reliable and very professional. Their services are clearly differentiated for the audience they are dealing with and above all, they are always full of fun and memorable moments! I would not hesitate in recommending their services to schools, community groups, museums and heritage attractions and in an advisory capacity too as their knowledge and passion for history is infectious!"
