Vikings Friday 3 July 2026
What do we know about the Vikings? What is myth and what were the facts?
This workshop enables children to learn about Viking Britain between 793AD and 1066AD. Uncovering what the Vikings have left behind, children will investigate and learn which materials survived in the ground and which have rotted away. Reimagining Viking scenes, they will learn about daily lives, religion and much more.
