Focussing on either the Saxon or Viking time you will take a journey across the northern seas in our full size Viking long ship. After arriving at our Saxon Hall you will learn skills such as brooch making, spinning wool, hurdle and clay pot making. Inside the Hall you will get a sense of what life was like at this time and discover the importance of fire. The children will make overnight shelters using natural materials. A very active and fun filled day bringing the Saxon and Viking times to life.
