Loan Boxes Live!

Combine the hire of one of our Viking or Tudor loan boxes with a special Loan Boxes Live! Virtual Outreach.

Loan Boxes

Your Viking guide will teach your class how to become successful Viking traders. Select quality items to sell and learn how to make a good sale in the Viking marketplace, while also sharing tales of dramatic sea voyages.

One of our friendly Barley Hall servants will share their experiences of working in a  busy merchant’s house. They will help you explore the essential household objects and materials  used in the medieval and Tudor periods.

While your Loan Box is with you in the classroom, connect live with a friendly Viking trader or Tudor servant via videoconferencing. Explore the box’s artefacts with them, adding a tactile and highly sensory element to your experience.

A two-week loan and single tie-in virtual session is available at the special combination price of £105. You can also book a two-week loan and two tie-in virtual sessions for £175. You can choose to connect with your Viking or Tudor at the beginning, middle or end of your hire period, subject to availability

For more information about connecting with us via videoconferencing, please read our handy Virtual Outreach Teachers’ Guide. Please note that we ask that you request your package 6 weeks’ in advance to ensure the best availability from our learning team.
