Sat 3rd and Sun 4th July – The Vikings are coming to Conkers
Jun 4th, 2010 | By Chris Towland | Category: Conkers, Whats OnThe weekend of July 3rd and 4th will see some rather unusual activities going on in the grounds of Conkers.
Vikings of Middle England are probably most famous for their frighteningly realistic, exciting and entertaining battle displays, and these are usually used as a finale to a day’s events.
The Thunderous clash of steel as opposing forces meet, war cries mingling with the screams of the dying, the visual effect is stunning.
All Weaponry used by Vikings of Middle England are steel replicas to museum standards, and the fighting routines, a carefully balanced mix of flamboyant and rehearsed combats and unscripted ‘free fights’, where the warriors gritty determination and extensive training in the use of the weapons of the Viking age come to the fore.
