Manuscript Makers! Early Medieval Handling Workshop

To mark the opening of Words on the Wave: Ireland and St. Gallen in Early Medieval Europe and the loan of manuscripts from the Abbey of St Gall, Switzerland, come to the Learning Resource Room and find out about the creation of manuscripts in Early Medieval Ireland.

Take a look at replica objects, including vellum, wax tablets and quills, to see how people in the past learned how to write and create manuscripts. Enjoy some relaxing colouring activities, read through our many books about archaeology, and make sure to visit the ‘Words on the Wave: Ireland and St. Gallen in Early Medieval Europe’ exhibition.

No booking required. Workshop for families.
