Join us as we play host to the Viking reenactors Draca Beorder. Strike a Viking coin, learn to write in Runes and dress up like a Viking for a selfie in the Viking ship.
During your visit explore the richly decorated reconstructed Roman dining-room and the Anglo-Saxon longhall. Filled with hand crafted furniture and art, you will immerse yourself in thousands of years of heritage. There is also a reconstructed Viking ship and Iron Age roundhouse under construction.
Entry tickets to Avalon Archaeology can be purchased on the day at the welcome hut. The entry tickets includes free re-entry to the site during normal opening hours for the rest of 2024.
