Monsters, Myths & Magic

The story of the first Anglo-Saxon settlers and how many of the myths, legends and beliefs that occupied their pagan world are still with us today.

The early Saxon settlers were skilled sailors, hunters, farmers, and metalworkers. They were also keen storytellers and many of their stories were about the Gods, monsters and magic they believed influenced the world around them, from the raging seas they sailed across to the dark forests they hunted in.

This exhibition offers an opportunity to see many of the incredible objects from Hampshire Cultural Trust’s Anglo-Saxon collection that are not normally on public display.

Monsters, Myth and Magic is a family friendly exhibition that offers plenty of hands-on activities, dressing up, colouring in, quizzes and games.
