Venture into the depths of history this spring at a popular Viking-themed festival where longboats are burned and battles are staged.
The Sheringham Viking Festival will return to the seaside town this April to celebrate the ancient culture and its traditions.
Running for one day only, the event starts at Beeston Common where a Viking village will host a number of reenactments and mock battles.
In the evening, a parade will lead the way to the waterfront where a traditional longboat replica will be burned with torches and fire arrows at 7.15pm.

The ship's burning is meant to symbolise the ending of someone's life and the beginning of a new one.
The free event, organised by the Sheringham Carnival team, first launched in 2013 and returns on Saturday, April 13.
A previous event date had to be revised due to the tides being too high for the boat burning.
Sheringham's name evolved from old Norse and is thought to come from a Viking warlord called Scira - Sheringham meaning "the home of Scira's people".
