Wulfthryth, once Lady in Waiting to Queen Ethelberga of Kent and skilled in healing, considers herself a little higher up the social ladder than her good friend, Saethryth, who is doing all she can to mix with the nobles and change her diet from cabbage soup to venison.

Join Wulfthryth and Saethryth at Bamburgh Castle (follow signs from our gift shop at the end of your State Room tour) to learn about crafts using  wool such as nalbinding and embroidery.

Children  can have a go at making  a lucet braid, leather stamping  or weaving and take their finished  item.

Warrior Skills

Learn how weapons were used in battle with Wulfthryth  who used to be a warrior  before she married and became a lady!

11am and 1pm each day (indoors)
