The year is 878, and Viking and Saxon forces are about to clash...

Tensions are rising as King Alfred’s Anglo-Saxon warriors prepare to meet King Guthrum’s Viking army at the Battle of Edington. The question is…whose side are you on?

Pick your allegiance - Saxon or Viking - and take on five challenges around the museum to prove your skill and loyalty:

  • Handle a weapon like a true warrior
  • Design your own emblem
  • Practice your war cry
  • Build a shield wall
  • Crack the secret code

Will you make your leader proud and show you have what it takes?

A fun, interactive trail for all the family - choose your side and step into history!
