We've got Viking fever! Go mad for buried treasure with us during January, and dig into this treasure trove of school holiday fun!

Imagine digging a deep hole in the ground and finding a treasure trove of medieval silver, gold and fancy artefacts preserved underground! Well, that's just what happened in Scotland in 2014 when they discovered a significant hoard in Galloway. Metal detectorists sensed and located a spot that led to the discovery of a wonderful cache of buried Viking-age treasure! You can explore the fascinating stories that this treasure reveals in Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard exhibition (admission fees apply). 

We are getting inspired by these Viking-age treasures in our craft activity zone this school holidays.

What's On?

  • Craft Activities - Construct and decorate your own Viking longship, or make your own wearable Viking-age silver treasure craft from foiled art-paper and special craft gems.
  • Digital Screen Colouring - Colour in a Viking longship and and bring it to life on our digital screen! Your custom artwork will sail across the sea loaded with fierce warriors and their battleshields.

  • Explore medieval moments in our play zone with Viking-age stories and activities for little adventurers
