About Discover the Anglo-Saxons
Discover life in Anglo-Saxon Oxford with objects and craft this half term. Come to the Museum of Oxford in the Town Hall to immerse yourself in Anglo-Saxon Oxford.
Families can try on costumes, handle tools and wield weapons (both replica and original) to understand more about what life was like for people living all those years ago.
On top of this, families can make their own jewellery and design a battle shield inspired by the Anglo-Saxon items in the museum.
The Anglo-Saxon object handling and craft session run between 11.00am and 3.00pm on the 24 February in the Museum of Oxford in Oxford Town Hall.
Activities are aimed at children aged 4 to 11 years old. All children need to be accompanied by an adult at all times. You can just drop in between these times, but you are encouraged to book a timed ticket in advance to avoid disappointment.
The Discover the Anglo-Saxons event is free, but you are encouraged to donate to the museum on the day to help them run services for the community.
