Vikings are Raiding Chiltern Open Air Museum

Chiltern Open Air Museum Viking Weekend

On Sunday 25 and Bank Holiday Monday 26 August, 10am until 5pm, Vikings are Raiding Chiltern Open Air Museum in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire.

A warband of Vikings have taken over the museum and are using it as a base of operations to raid further into Saxon territory. They have ransacked the village, taken prisoners as thralls (slaves) and are busy plotting their next move whilst making loose with the food and drink they have pillaged from the Saxon villagers.

Watch Viking re-enactments and battles. Visit the camp and enjoy music, crafts such as cloth dyeing, storytelling, drum workshop, and fun activities from the Viking Age. Then see as the raid unfolds and see who wins in the battle between the Vicious Vikings and the Christian forces of Wessex.
