What's On at Park in the Past

Viking Weekend

Sat 13th to Sun 14th September 2025

Set sail for an unforgettable Viking Weekend as Stronghold Reenactment returns with their stunning boat, Brendan the Bold!, gliding across our lake and anchoring beside a vibrant living history camp.

Visitors can snap a photo on the beach with Brendan while learning the secrets of medieval ship-building, then wander through the encampment to meet medieval traders and discover the flavours of the past.

Throughout the weekend, join us for all-ages storytelling sessions filled with nautical legends from the Middle Ages, or try your hand at crafting a medieval fishing net. For those feeling adventurous, Hope Watersports offers kayak hire so why not paddle alongside Brendan himself?

Up in the Fort, the Wolf and Crow Vikings will bring history to life with thrilling combat and immersive demonstrations.

Standard admission prices apply. We hope you’ll join us for a weekend of waves, warriors, and wonder.
