Get ready, folks, because the Vikings are rolling into town, and they're bringing their treasure with them. This isn't just any old gathering; it's a month-long celebration at the South Australian Museum, with hitting the main stage on the 28th and 29th of June. So, assemble your crew and prepare to browse a marketplace that's like a medieval Pinterest board come to life. You'll find everything from hand-sewn costumes and fabulous textiles to quirky leather goods and shiny replica weapons—perfect for anyone who's ever fancied themselves as a fearsome warrior or a dignified bard.

But wait, there's more. This two-day extravaganza isn't just for things that look great on your mantle; there are some serious events lined up. Think medieval combat demonstrations, axe throwing that'll help you unleash your inner warrior, and music that could make a jester jealous. Feeling bold? Throw on your best medieval attire for a shot at winning a prize for the best costume or the most impressive Viking beard, because there are no bad days for some friendly competition. And hey, while you're at it, why not pop into the Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard exhibition? It's open throughout the festival, so you can find some inspiration for your own Viking-themed dinner parties. Grab your tickets at the door or pre-book if you want to ensure your spot—after all, nobody wants to miss out on this fest of feasting and fun.
