Hetton Carnival
On Saturday 21st June 2025, we attended a two day event at Hetton Lyons Country Park for the second year, the lovely Fiona Harnett that helps host the event gave us a special shoutout to the local media outlet that is the Sunderland Echo,
For the first time at this event, we provided a Viking village full of fun activities such as foam sword fighting, full metal battle re-enactments and a look into everyday Viking life and history.
The public got to engage with us first hand to ask questions about the way Viking's would work, live and even eat. They also got a hands on experience with the weapons and armour that some of the Viking's would wear and use such as the Dane Axe, common Hand Axe, Long Bow and the Occasional Sword.
Overall the event was great, the people were really engaging and we're looking forward to being back next year, even bigger and better!

Largs Viking Festival
In the run up to our next event at Largs Viking Festival, we have received a special shoutout from their Facebook page.
Largs is one of the largest Viking events based in the UK so to be attending this event is an absolute honour. Although we are only staying for the first weekend we are going to make sure we leave a lasting impact on Largs and become one of their returning groups.
More on this to come as we come up to the event!
