Society & Culture
Viking reenactments have become quite a popular thing all across Europe and in Northern Ireland they celebrate the Viking heritage in Portadown, not far from Belfast. The annual Viking Festival there includes longboats, a Viking village, crafters, concerts and Vikings of every age. They cook, camp, craft, and battle all through the weekend. And the television series Vikings put on by The History Channel has helped fuel the Viking Festivals as a circuit. Hear the battles, the music and the people, in Episode 30 of Erin's Isle.
