More information from organisers:

Inspired by Warwick Castle’s true origin story, Viking Raiders puts Aethelflaed – the ‘Lady of the Mercians’ – at the centre of the battle. The eldest daughter of Alfred the Great, Aethelflaed helped shape the future of Mercia. Her story is rooted in Warwick’s earliest beginnings, when the site stood near a fortified Anglo-Saxon burh on the banks of the River Avon.

Guests can expect flaming arrows, pyrotechnics, sword fights, archery and jaw-dropping battle scenes – all included with a daytime general admission ticket. Performances run for a limited time until 17 July, so guests are encouraged to book ahead.
