This October half term, enjoy a hauntingly good time at 878 AD and come and get stuck in with some classic Anglo-Saxon medicines and remedies!

Work with Winchester’s local healers and leeches to create cures, supply salves and help heal the good folk of Wessex.

These interactive sessions will allow you, friends and family to experience the peculiar potions of the past and even allow you to try creating your own!

Also, new for 2024 - Family trail - our leech's leaches have escaped, can you follow the leech riddle trail and track them all down?
