Children & family activities, May half term

This May half term, join the residents of Winchester as we prepare for the Battle of Edington.

With this great final quest almost upon us, we need as many soldiers as we can, so come get ready to be part of the Anglo-Saxon army!

Take part in a shield wall, learn how to handle a weapon, design an emblem for your shield and let out your most fierce battle cry! 

 

Choose Your Side

Would you rather fight alongside the Vikings and help them to invade Winchester? Then head over to the Viking encampment at Winchester City Museum. Both sites are included with our Historic Winchester Super Explorer ticket!
