ON Saturday, 24 September 2016, the 4th
Annual
Viking Medieval Market was held at the Gild
Hall in Formby, Merseyside. The event is starting to get too big for the venue,
as it is now attracting more and more people. It is a fantastic day out, with
lots to see and do. From re-enactments, with warriors battling it out in a small
arena though to Russ Scott's (aka Erling Rigsson) 27ft long Viking boat were
just a few of the attractions. Adults and children could also learn and play
Viking Chess (Tafl)
and even have their names translated into Viking using the runic alphabet.

That is not forgetting the birds of prey on
display, as well as food and drink! This is a very interesting and extremely
informative event, that not only has plenty to do and learn, but also has an
extremely friendly and inviting bunch of people behind it. Well done to all
involved and we are eagerly looking forward to your Library event in Formby;
