The war-like ‘Vikings! Of Middle England' return again to award-winning Rockingham Castle on Bank Holiday Sunday & Monday. 

In the beautiful setting of the Castle grounds the ‘invading Vikings' set up camp and play out events from this island's earliest times. The story is set in the years 952-4.  The Wessex King, Eadred has  expelled the Norse kings of York - Olaf Kvaran and his cousin Ragnald. However, the restless Northumbrians, encouraged by Wulfstan, the Archbishop of York, sought to restore the Viking, Erik Haraldsson - known as Erik Bloodaxe - to the throne that he had lost four years previously.  The tail of kings, warriors, warring parties, deceit and revenge is played out over a weekend of high excitement. 12 noon to 5pm
