About Us

Graham, Towse and Bronwen of Sun Jester have over 25 years experience of delivering educational workshops and entertainments to the heritage sector. Over that time we have worked with many and varied organisations such as English Heritage, castles and prominent heritage sites, museums, art galleries, schools and The National Trust. All three have worked in the field of community arts for a number of years; more specifically, Graham and Towse have backgrounds in history and archaeology while Bronwen is a professional musician and vocalist.

Our work was originally targeted towards children and families (Graham and Towse ran a branch of The Young Archaeologists Club for many years). We were asked to develop a range of adult talks about six years ago and their popularity has grown exponentially.

“Sun Jester provides educational tours on a range of subjects including prehistory, poison, and princesses. Even to provide talks on one subject to such a significantly high standard would be incredible, but it seems Sun Jester can do talks on anything! Graham’s talk was brilliantly prepared, well-supplemented with images, and he seems to have a real passion for the subject which made the talk even more exciting.”

NEW FOR 2024

We are delighted to announce a new project for 2024 in partnership with the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway. Enjoy a trip on a heritage steam railway with a cream tea, followed by a fascinating Sun Jester talk. 

Full details and tickets are available on the CPRR website.
