About

Come and meet some real-life Vikings and Viking experts at the museum in our Natural Northumbria gallery. 

Storytellers will weave tales of magic and heroism drawn from the sagas of the Vikings. Try your hand at untangling fiendish riddles and mysterious runes, and make your own rune stone to take away with you.

Story time is at 2.15pm, and all other activities are drop-in.
