Viking Visit - Murton Park

We visited Murton Park near York on 10 and 11 November 2009

and we had a fantastic time.  We all dressed up even the teachers and

ate a proper Viking lunch.

Murton Park Dark Age Village is a unique educational environment that is designed to allow children to become Vikings or Saxons for a day.  Costumes are provided and children carry out activities as the villagers of a Dark Ages Settlement. Grinding wheat, weapons training (with blunt, dummy weapons), guard duty, pottery, field and house work are  some of the tasks children will undertake. Various visitors arrive to create role play scenarios and on a full day a banquet lunch is included.
