Wirral Vikings (Wirhalh Skip Felagr) and friends come together to give you a free insight into how life was lived in the 10th Century. With displays of crafts from the period you can see how various aspects of Viking and Saxon daily life were performed. The displays of combat will give you a feel of what it was like to be on the battlefield during clashes between warring factions.
If you have an interest in the Viking age, the history of the period or simply want to be entertained by the combat display there is something for you.

Venue
Sitting where the Shropshire Union Canal meets the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey, this transhipment dock, once a noisy, bustling hub, is now an area of calm and tranquillity.
Come and savour the peacefulness of being outdoors by the canal, absorb the history emanating from the Grade II listed buildings, and learn about the lives and work of the canal people as you stroll around this seven-acre site.
During each year, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions, holds special events for Easter, Halloween and Christmas (additional charges may apply) as well as Canal Town every Sunday during the summer when there is a different theme each Sunday.
Friendly dogs are welcome, and we ask that they be kept on a lead at all times.
