How To Launch A Viking Raid

Interactive, drama-history workshop.

Have your students got what it takes to launch a successful Viking raid?

In this award-winning workshop, our practitioners will use interactive activities with a drama and performance twist to teach your students everything they need to know to raid the Anglo-Saxon monastery on Lindisfarne. Your students will:

​

• Create a timeline stretching from the first Viking raid to the end of the Viking era.

• Construct a Viking Longship using just their bodies.

• Use their teamworking skills to test out Viking navigation techniques

• Launch a raid on Lindisfarne & outsmart the Monks to steal their treasure.
