הסקסונים חוזרים לדובר בסטייל

The Age of the Anglo-Saxons came back to Dover on 17-18^ה August in a weekend of activities and fun. היה משהו לכולם. על המדשאה הרומית הוקם כפר חי אנגלו-סכסי עם משחקים לשחק, פעילויות יצירה כולל סדנת הטבעת מטבעות, אוכל אותנטי, עבודות עץ וטקסטיל. חרבות, shields and other weapons were on display and experts showed how they were used in a mock battle.

There was more to do at Dover Museum, a special exhibition at the Roman Painted House, and a free showing of the Sword in the Stone at the Dover Silver Screen. A walk to find Anglo Saxon herbs and talks about aspects of Anglo-Saxon life completed the Festival.

Dover Mayor, Councillor Gordon Cowan joined the large numbers of local people and visitors to find out about life in the Town over 1000 לפני שנים.

Thanks go to Dover Museum and Destination Dover for organising the Festival and to all the partners who contributed to the fantastic success of the weekend.
