Seven-day Viking festival in York from next Monday
Living history events will be taking place throughout the festival which has activities each day up to and including Sunday February 23.
Through the festival a Viking encampment is staged at Parliament Street and St Sampson's Square showing a variety of Viking craft work.
Among more than 30 events taking place is "Poo Week" with DIG at St Saviour Church, where children can find out why archaeologists love the stuff and can get hands-on at making a replica poo fossil. A Viking Feast at Merchant Adventurers Hall on February 18 is already sold out, but the venue is transformed into a 10th century traders market from Friday to Sunday. Viking craft sessions for all the family take place at York Minster and at Barley Hall through the week. The Murton Park museum on the outskirts of York will be staging a Viking Village on Tuesday February 18 and Thursday February 20. There are evening spectaculars entitled "Tyrfing. The Cursed Sword" at The Eye of York on Friday and Saturday evenings (February 21-22) and a Viking march through the city to Coppergate on Saturday afternoon (February 22) is another highlight of the event.

Discover Yorkshire castles
Yorkshire is a region of fine stone castles, though much of this grand architecture has been reduced to ruins during turbulent times in the region's past.
The castles are rich in their history as homes in times of peace and strongholds in times of civil war. Some still dominate the landscape while in some locations there is now little evidence of their darkest days.
Our
Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire (featured in our picture) is one of the finest and most complete Norman castles in Britain, around which the town of Richmond developed. Its vast square keep, 100ft (30 metres) high, is a dominant feature of the town with magnificent views.
