Fireworks at Tutbury Castle

There is much excitement here at the castle as the build-up is underway for when a crowd of Vikings will surge into the castle and set up camp to thrill everyone – and scare a few too!

As the real Vikings came in their dragon ships up the river Trent and the river Dove past the castle mound, it is quite a thought in the middle of all the fun that they really did come to this immediate area and raided a convent at nearby Hanbury before moving forward to Repton which was a major Viking site.
