Dalai Lama
"A childhood experience can change the course of a life; For me it was finding a fossil on a beach aged 5. That created a lifelong fascination with natural history and human history, and led me to do what I do!" Memma
Prehistoric Experiences was founded by Flint knapper Will Lord around 2015. Since then it has been providing school visits up and own the country from its Home Base in East Anglia. In 2019 Will Decided he wanted to focus on other aspects of Stone Age skills and Memma took over the schools side of the company and has been running it ever since! We are busier than ever! In the autumn of 2024 we visited 72 schools, 147 Clases.... and inspired over 4,400 children!
Memma Head Cavewoman
Memma has been interested in Prehistory from a very young age when a chance find of a fossil at age 5 led to a wider love of natural history, and human history.
A consummate outdoors person, Memma has worked in the Bushcraft industry for 13 years, Primarily for TV survivalist Ray Mears' company Woodlore ltd. Running courses and teaching outdoor skills.

Twig
Twig joined the team in 2019, A recent convert to Bushcraft, he has thrown himself into Ancient skills, starting by making himself the vital equipment and clothing of a caveman and beginning the long journey to become a proficient flintknapper
Kit
Kit joined the team in 2023 and has spent the year as 'acting quartermaster'; Honing his prehistoric skills my making and mending spears, stone tools, carvings and all the artifacts and replicas we bring to schools. He's been hooked on flint knapping since his introduction to it in 2023 and has taken to it like a duck to water, producing beautiful knapped tools and jewellery. Kit will be operating many of our Small schools visits from Sep. 2024!
A veteran reenactor, Kit is no stranger to bringing history alive, for school groups and the public. I think the variety of tools, weapons and fancy clothes may have won him over from the 16th Century where he is sometimes found!
Scuff
Scruff is our newest member of the team. A keen adventurer and traveler with a newfound passion for ancient crafts and skills. Scruff has years of experience working with children which she puts to excellent use during our school experiences.
