Woodhall Spa People's Pagent

The People's Pageant took place on Saturday 9 July in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire.
In 1911, 100 years ago, a great historical Pageant was held in Woodhall Spa to mark the villages' centenary. Now in 2011 the community is marking this historical event that celebrates life in our vibrant village today. This unique event will brought together the modern aspects of this well loved Lincolnshire village with its fascinating history. This is a short film our school made during the event.

In recent years, the school has carried out a various projects with the Cottage museum including a visual photographic record, a project at Tattershall Thorpe Camp and a "memories in a box" display.
