As part of your trail, you will: Pick an outrageous Viking name (and get a badge to let everyone know your new title!) Make a beardy disguise (to conceal your true identity) Search for clues in the rubbish discarded by our busy Viking traders (expect all kinds of gross
things!) Sort through gruesome animal bones to find out how these animals met their grisly ends Dissect a poo from the cess pit and find some nasty surprises (lovely!)
All will get one-on-one time with everyone’s favourite Horrible Historian, Terry Deary, who will answer your questions and sign a complimentary Horrible Histories book.
