Published 16 August 2024
Lofotr Viking Festival took place 8-11 August and despite one day less than last year, visitor numbers were very positive.
16 September 2024
The Vikings visited Leknes for Super Saturday on 14.09.2024 to share exciting activities with the children. It was a great turnout with many eager participants of all ages. The Vikings brought a number of tasks from the longhouse for the children to test.
The activities were both fun and challenging, such as shield painting inspired by historical motifs, throwing a ball into a bucket, grinding barley groats into flour, holding a sword with a straight arm, lifting a heavy millstone, and not least being part of the shield wall and pushing the Vikings in and out.
In the end, the Vikings formed a shield wall that the children had to break through ? Something they managed by working together! A fantastic day ended with cheers from both young and old.
The result of all the shields the children painted is now hanging inside the dairy in Leknes.
The next Super Saturday will take place on 16.11.2024 in Lofotr, where new exciting adventures await!
