Danelaw Dark Age Village is a unique educational environment that is designed to support the study of life in Saxon, Viking or Medieval England. A range of themed visits are available, either led by three members of our living history team, or as self-led ‘Dark Age Explorer’ days.

Costumes are provided and children carry out a range of activities as the villagers of a Dark Ages Settlement. These vary with the type of day booked but may include grinding wheat, weapons training (with blunt, dummy weapons), guard duty, pottery, field and house work. Various visitors arrive to create role play scenarios.

Village Days can accommodate up to 65 children and can be booked for a full day (5 hours) at £13 per child or a half day (2.5 hours) at £9 per child. A minimum of 4 adults is required for both full and half days.
