Diplomatic mission from Hemsby to the Vikings of Jorvik
The Hemsby team talked to many of the hundreds of Viking re-enactment enthusiasts occupying the city during the festival, and recruited a number of stall-holders to take part in Hemsby’s own Viking Festival which takes place on June 18, 19 and 20 this year.
Mr Middleton said: “It was inspiring to see how the 25 year old Viking festival in York can attract so many thousands of visitors. It was wonderful entertainment for children and adults alike and we are confident that the Hemsby festival will just as much fun.”
The Hemsby Viking Festival will feature an army of around 60 Vikings from the Vikings of Middle England re-enactment group, who will be holding skirmishes throughout the weekend, as well as giving demonstrations of Viking crafts and lifestyle to local schoolchildren and festival visitors.
The Hemsby festivities also feature a rather more modern Scandinavian influence, with Abba tribute bands, as well as Swedish food and clothing stalls.
Festivities at Hemsby will climax with the spectacular ceremonial burning of a Viking longship.
