Viking Treasure Hunt & Crafts

Event title graphic with Viking shields and a patterned rune background.

The Vikings have been raiding throughout all of Wessex, plundering lots of gold from the Anglo-Saxons. They’ve stopped for a rest near Winchester, but SOMEONE has just stolen all their treasure!

Was it a local Saxon rescuing it from the Vikings, or a naughty Viking stealing it all for himself? We need you to follow the trail of dropped treasure around the museum and gather it up again!

In order to defend yourself from the marauding Vikings, you’ll need a shield! But what design will you put on it? Head to our crafting table to design your own Viking or Anglo-Saxon shield, and use our badge maker to create your own piece of treasure!
