 Threekingham Viking Festival
The Threekingham Viking Festival is set to be a thrilling and culturally enriching event that brings the spirit of the Viking age to life, as part of Heritage Open Days 2023.
Bring the family and spend a weekend invading Threekingham with the Great Heathen Army of 300+ Vikings, to experience the origins of our Danelaw heritage.
The Vikings will recreate the Battle of Stow from 870 AD, where they fought with Anglo Saxon defenders – after defeat on the first day, the invaders returned for a rematch and left in triumph!
Funded through North Kesteven District Council and the UKSPF Shared Prosperity Fund, this festival offers visitors a captivating journey into the past. From September 15th to 17th, the village transforms into a Viking settlement, complete with historical reenactments, encampments, and immersive experiences.
The festival serves not only as an entertaining spectacle but also as an educational opportunity; in the Church there will be a programme of free lectures sponsored by the Viking Society for Northern Research, as well as an archaeological dig for visitors to experience the thrill of discovering and identifying artefacts.
See you there!
