Axes at the ready for Viking Festival
GET SET for the upcoming Viking invasion at a special Viking workshop in Inveraray.
With Loch Fyne Viking Festival just around the corner, July 6, a one-off Viking workshop will be held in Nicol Hall in Inveraray this Saturday to help make beards, axes and shields to take along to the Nordic celebration.
The Viking Festival programme will start in Inveraray on July 6 at 11am, with the longships arriving in the royal burgh at noon. The Viking programme in Inveraray will continue at least until 3pm, however, before moving on to Lochgilphead the next day.
From Lochgilphead, the Vikings will move on to Tarbert on Saturday where in the evening there will be a community barbecue and family ceilidh at the festival marquee.
In anticipation of the Viking landings, families are encouraged to get along to the Viking workshop this Saturday June 24 to get geared up for the big day.
The workshop will be from 10.30am until 3.30pm in Nicol Hall. It is 50p per person and under-12s must be accompanied by an adult.
