West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village - one of the UK’s most important archaeological sites - is a stunning recreation of the Anglo-Saxon settlement that occupied the site between c.AD420-AD720. There is lots to see and do at West Stow throughout the year. Wander through the village and imagine what life would have been like for the Anglo-Saxons who lived here. Visit the Museum to see hundreds of fascinating finds excavated from beneath your feet. Dress up as an Anglo-Saxon, become an archaeologist in our 'Sands of Time' Mega-Dig and don't forget to meet our Iron Age pigs; Æppel & Æcern! After visiting the Village, make sure you explore the historic landscape of our 125 acre Country Park. A large area of the park has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as it is home to a variety of rare Breckland species. We run lots of exciting events from re-enactment weekends and workshops to our annual family extravaganza, Dragon Fest.
