The Tale of Thor's Wife, Museum of London

This May half term families have a chance to learn about Thor, God of Thunder – the ancient Norse deity who hails from the celestial city of Asgard. Like most gods of the time, his primary hobbies include making mischief and much skulduggery.

The Museum of London is hosting a special interactive storytelling session this May half-term about the divine adventures of the hammer-wielding big-head. Gather round, Viking-style, to hear how Thor schemed to disguise himself as a bride to reclaim his stolen axe. Sadly Chris Hemsworth, Thor in the Marvel cinematic universe, will not be reprising his role for this storytelling session – but thrills and feats abound nevertheless, a gripping saga inspired by the Viking battleaxe collection currently on display at the museum.

In Old English, 'Thursday' was originally 'Thor's Day'. Take the whole family out for a special Thors Day this May half-term. Each story is around 30 minutes long.

Suitable for ages 5+.
