Britain's What's On Event Guide
The 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.
Step back in time and visit the Saxon encampment that will be taking over our garden all day with master crafters demonstrating a variety of period crafts including textile crafts to keep people clothed. Displays of period food & drinks demonstrating daily life. Plus have a go at traditional board games used to keep warriors entertained when they weren’t fighting.
Don’t forget to visit our immersive Saxons exhibition while you’re here (included in your ticket), come and discover the stories behind three remarkable Saxon burial sites, each revealing a different level of status and way of life.
