Exclusive Tours

Join our very own Keeper of Archaeology on an exclusive tour of our major exhibition, The SAXONS. Discover more about this immersive exhibition, how the Saxons lived, fought, believed and were remembered over 1,300 years ago. Tours will take place at 10:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm, please register for these at reception on arrival to secure a place.

Continue your exploration of early life in Bucks in the archaeology gallery and find out about the early people from prehistoric times through to Roman, Saxon, Viking and Medieval times. Meet an Anglo-Saxon woman mistakenly called “the Aston Clinton Princess”, and find out why she’s not really royalty…

Explore the amazing Lenborough Hoard display, and the story of the forgotten invasion of England in 1016 by the Viking King Cnut. How do 5000 Anglo-Saxon silver coins, hidden in a field near Buckingham, tell the story of 1000 year old conflict between Vikings and Saxons? Find out about archaeology today and what has been discovered recently. Every object on display was once important to someone. They may have made, used or treasured it – each is a personal window into the past.

Join us for family friendly crafts and activities: excavate our mini dig pit, help reassemble a Roman bowl, make a coin rubbing to take home and more!
