How to Train Your Dragon School: Unleash your Inner Viking

Unleash your inner Viking and join us for a summer of fun outdoor activities! Inspired by DIG's How to Train Your Dragon School exhibition and the beloved book series, these events offer exciting, hands-on bushcraft sessions designed especially for children (aged 5–12).

Led by expert outdoor educators SylvanKin, each one-hour session covers hands-on forest school activities with a Dragon School twist. From crafting shields to lighting fires, your little adventurers will learn new skills, spark their imaginations, and fuel their creativity.
