Join us as we play host to the Viking reenactors Draca Beordor!
Strike a Viking coin, learn to write in Runes, dress up like a Viking for a selfie in the Viking ship and witness a Viking combat display.
During your visit, you can also explore the reconstructions such as our richly decorated 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!
Drop in, no booking required.
Normal entry applies, and don't forget your entry ticket includes free re-entry to the site during normal opening hours for the rest of 2026.
Entry tickets to Avalon Archaeology can be purchased on the day at the welcome hut.
