Youngsters are being invited to travel back in time to Saxon times at the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds this half term.

A week of craft activities and demonstrations, living history displays, combat shows will be available along with the chance to see a longboat reconstruction.

The programme complements a special exhibition at the venue, Warrior Treasures: Saxon Gold from the Staffordshire Hoard (May 27–October 2), which will showcase around 100 items from the collection alongside a very rare Anglo-Saxon helmet discovery from the Wollaston Warrior burial collection. Some of the objects have never been on show before.

Half-term activities include:
