Anglo-Saxons:
Tales and Treasures
Join us as we travel back in time to discover the amazing arts and culture of the Anglo-Saxons.
Our workshop
“Tales and Treasures” is a full day living history workshop aimed at primary schools which delves into Anglo-Saxon crafts, music and storytelling. From the messages in their metalwork to their carefully woven tales, our workshop enables children to explore the skilled craftsmanship of the Anglo-Saxons and the important role it played in their culture.
During the day, children will develop their historical enquiry skills through archaeological investigation and artefact-handling. We encourage children to understand the importance of the archaeology in learning about the past and the other clues that the Anglo-Saxons have left behind.
They will have the opportunity to explore how Anglo-Saxons used story-telling through a Beowulf drama session. We play with toys and games, decipher riddles, explore Anglo-Saxon foods and write runic messages.
Packed full of exciting artefacts and high-quality resources, our workshop provides an immersive experience, guaranteed to get your class excited about the Anglo-Saxons!
