Viking Workshop
Make your Viking school topic memorable with a visit from our interpreters.
We specialise in this turbulent and formative period of world history, and we look forward to bring our knowledge and enthusiasm to your classroom.
We will work with you to develop a workshop that suits the needs of your classroom delivery.
What to Expect
Raiders
Learn about Viking warriors, their conquests all across Europe, and get your hands on our stunning replicas of Early Medieval weapons and armour with one of our handling sessions.
