Jorvik Viking Festival York February 2011

The Vikings are back! - Jorvik Viking Festival, York - 19th - 27th Feb 2011.
Join the action as hundreds of Vikings from across the world descend on York for this annual festival.

This year will be the 26th annual Viking Festival in York.

Events will include;

• lectures,
  
• arts & crafts,
  
• encampments,
  
• river events,
  
• saga-telling,
• re-enactments of battle drills and training routines,
  
• and full-scale battle re-enactments.

I have read on the Yorkshire.com website that,

"The Festival in 2011 will revisit the events of the early 11th century, a time when King Ethelred sat on the English throne and struggled for survival in the face of repeated Danish invasions. His ally, the Viking Olaf Haraldsson, will lead the fight against the Danes in the spectacular Festival battle finale on Saturday 26th February, which will see hundreds of armed warriors clash, before a fiery climax featuring fireworks and a boat burning at Bustardthorpe Fields, York Racecourse.
If you have an interest in history or just enjoy visiting York, then the Jorvik Viking Festival is for you and your family."

If you have an interest in history or just enjoy visiting York, then the Jorvik Viking Festival is for you and your family.

Old Byland is just 30 miles from York, so why not make your base here at one of the Valley View Farm Cottages, in the beautiful North York Moors.
