Welcome to the Amlwch Viking Festival website

The date has been set for next year's Viking Festival

1st , 2nd  and  3rd  August,  2008

Put it in your diaries!  

2006 was a very successful event, enjoyed by thousands

200 authentically equipped warriors and villagers recreate the early 10th Century political rivalry on the Island, leading to internicne treachery and the eventual Battle of Ros Meilion to expel the Vikings.

Walk around a working 10th Century encampment, experience a Viking wedding, see the Vikings at work creating their original crafts, listen to their banter, soak up the atmosphere.

Move on to the traditional craft stalls and enjoy a cut from the hog roast as you watch the spectacular display and battles.

On Saturday evening, there was an open-air gig featuring Valleum and the Baloo's Band, and a disco in Amlwch Port, followed by the Boat burning ceremony. Join in the throngs of people on Upper Quay Street in Amlwch Port to witness the Ceremonial Boat Burning and fireworks display bring the first action packed day to a close.

Sunday saw the festival field a hive of activity with more thrilling action culminating in the village burning in the arena.
