Vikings at Wildwood EscotBattle Re-enactments

Each day The Westencynn Warriors will engage in an epic battle including a terrifying shield wall charge.

They’ll demonstrate a range of weapons and how to use them in a variety of fascinating and dynamic fighting styles. As a special treat, the bravest and most courageous of the children from the audience (10 years and under) will get the chance to prove their mettle and train with the warriors.

Tour our village and have a go at spinning fleece into yarn in preparation to be woven into fabrics. The village folk will be demonstrating different kinds of weaving. Spend some time in our authentic Saxon forge and chat to the smithy to learn what types of tools, weapons, utensils and ornaments were made at the time.
