On Site Saxon Day
Our Saxon Village can accommodate groups of up to 65 children to spend a full day learning about the Anglo-Saxon times under the guidance of our team. Comprising a number of houses, workshops, and fields, our settlement is the perfect setting for our hands-on activity days.
You will be met by one of our costumed members of staff and introduced to the life of a Saxon settler. The children will then head out to the Saxon village to meet the Thane or Thaness. Can they help get the new church set up for the visiting Abbot? Working in groups the children will make candles, practice illumination and writing, and learn about Saxon pastimes. They will have to take their turns on guard duty and learn how to defend the village from Viking invaders.
