CHILDREN can learn the skills it takes to become a true Viking at the Yorkshire Museum as it celebrates the return of the Vale of York Hoard from an international tour.
From shield making and weaving to coin striking and Viking warrior training, different crafts and skills will be taught each week during the summer holidays at the York museum.
Emma Williams, assistant curator of archaeology (learning), said: “Not only is the incredible Vale of York Viking hoard going to be on display but we have a whole range of activities, events and demos that will allow families to learn all about Jorvik life.
“Children are going to really enjoy the hands on activities and we are very excited to be running the ever-popular Special Wednesdays throughout August.”
