Viking-age Britain comes to life with members of historical reenactment group, The Grey Company.

During our summer exhibition season of Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard, get a glimpse of some of the skills and artisan work that would have created treasured items during this era. 

Whether the skill on display is chain-mail making, coin striking, Viking knitting (called nålebinding) or another, you'll be fascinated to learn more about these fascinating objects, practical items and the processes of making them. Especially with people - in costume - who are passionate about bringing history out of the archives and into the hearts and minds of modern viewers.  

Come and explore the textures and technical genius of Viking-age Britain with our generous community of volunteer time-travellers.
