'Local Heroes' is an interactive performance designed for Key Stage 2 pupils in schools, and as a community event for the public. It has been created specifically for the children of Bromley to help them discover some of the amazing past and present residents of the Borough, the places they are connected with, and how their legacies can inspire us today and in the future.

'Local Heroes' comes with follow up materials for schools to encourage further learning; and a dynamic Heritage Challenge to help families engage with and enjoy the Borough's heritage together.

'Local Heroes' in schools will:

Help your school meet;
