Into Battle!

Jul 31, 2002

BLOOD-curdling roars and the clash of weapons were heard in Barnard Castle on Saturday as a Viking re-enactment group entertained visitors to the castle.

As well as the combat demonstrations, the group, Anmod Dracan, from Redcar gave craft demonstrations and story-telling sessions.

“We do this most weekends in the summer,” said John Watson, the society chief. “We’ve been to Barnard Castle and it’s one of our favourite sites. The ground’s flat for the tents and it’s handy for the shops!”
