EVERY day is market day at a medieval town house next week, with all kinds of Viking goods on display.
During the half-term week, Barley Hall Coffee Yard, in York, is hosting a Viking market, offering visitors a chance to get their hands on some beautiful crafts of the Viking age.
Viking traders will be demonstrating skills, including candlemaking, leatherwork, silversmithing and weaving. There will be music from medieval minstrels Trouvere and a chance to have a go on some of the musical instruments of the past.
Museum manager Gill Page said: "The market week is a successful event and creates quite a buzz here. Kids can come here and have a lovely time while learning more about York's Viking past.
"Everyone is welcome to come along for a taste of history and a bit of fun."
The event is part of the city's Yorvik Viking Festival and admission to the market costs £1.
The market will be open between 10am and 5pm from Saturday until Sunday, February 23.
