Alongside their performance of The Misadventures of Thor, Dave and James offer this chance for children to engage in the creation and deployment of a Viking Shield Wall. They have a fabulous array of realistic looking foam-latex weapons, shields and helmets, all modelled on such items from the Viking Age.
Once the children have created their Shield Wall they will be drilled by ‘Ulf’ and ‘Odda’ on how to move forward together as a team. If the line isn’t held it’s unlikely the gods will save you! Then their Shield Wall will be put to the test…
Parents and carers become the opposing force, facing the children and armed with throwing axes! The Viking Shield Wall will give children a truly unforgettable experience of what it was like to be the ‘front-line’ in a Viking Age skirmish!
All kit provided is child-friendly and meets the requirements of safety adhered to by LARP (Live Action Role Playing) guidelines.
Duration: 45 mins.
Age limit: Suitable ONLY for children under 7 years.
