How to Dine Like It's 959: Secrets from the Viking Kitchen (Age 10+)

What was on the Viking table?

Emma Kay leads a hands-on look at the food rituals of Vikings living in Britain from the ninth to the eleventh century. You will hear about the winter festivals Vetrnaetr and Alfablot, then taste ancient-grain bread and non-alcoholic mead.

The session also explores the Norse idea of elves as formidable beings rather than tiny helpers, and participants can make a traditional clay pinch pot to take home. It is aimed at ages ten to adult, but no dietary or allergy guidance is published.
