Event details

Join us for our big family Saxons Weekend!

Step into the world of the Saxons this summer with a family-friendly weekend of live action, storytelling and hands-on discovery at Discover Bucks Museum.
Across the weekend, the museum garden will be transformed into a bustling living history encampment, where you can explore daily life in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Meet skilled re-enactors from Ulfhrafnar and The Dark Ages Society as they demonstrate traditional crafts, showcase sword-making techniques and bring the past vividly to life. Don't miss their thrilling weapons demonstrations, or the dramatic live acting scenes and storytelling sessions unfolding throughout the day.

Saturday 1 August 10am - 5pm

Sunday 2 August 10am - 4pm

With a packed programme of performances, demonstrations and hands-on activities, The Saxons Weekend offers a unique chance to experience the sights, sounds and stories of the early medieval world.

The Saxons Weekend activities are included in your normal Museum or Roald Dahl Children's Gallery entry.
