Step into the Anglo-Saxon Age
At Chiltern Open Air Museum, we have a range of immersive school learning experiences.
This Anglo-Saxon themed day includes two workshops where our educational leaders bring the theme to life with hand-on activities. The workshops take place in or around our historic buildings, giving students a unique and authentic experience.
