Join us at Avalon Archaeology as we mark Somerset Day with reenactors from Draca Beordor who will be bringing the site to life.
Take part in an array of children’s activities exploring life in Saxon Somerset, including striking an Alfred coin, follow the Alfred Art Trail, learn to write in the style of King Alfred and dress up like a Saxon for a selfie in the longhall.
Visitors can also explore the reconstructions such as the Anglo-Saxon longhall and the Roman dining-room, filled with hand crafted furniture and art.
