The 2010 Festival will run from 28 August to 5 September!

The world famous Largs Viking Festival takes place every year in Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland, as crowds gather from near and far to celebrate Viking heritage in Largs, notably the Battle of Largs 1263 (the last Viking invasion in the UK).

There are events for all the family throughout the week starting with the opening day parade, opening ceremony and various Viking activities.  The highlight of the 2009 Festival was the display by the RAF Typhoon over Largs Bay.

The Viking Village can be found on the Promenade and is populated by the Swords of Dalriada who live the Viking life in the village throughout the Festival, where
visitors will be enthralled and entertained
learning about Viking life (school groups
are most welcome).

The week culminates in the spectacular
burning of the longship, Viking battle
re-enactment and fireworks display at
the Pencil Monument in Largs.
