The Age of the Anglo-Saxons came back to Dover on 17-18日 August in a weekend of activities and fun. 每个人都能找到适合自己的东西. 罗马草坪上有一个盎格鲁-撒克逊生活村庄,里面有可以玩的游戏, 工艺活动,包括硬币铸造工作坊, 正宗的食物, 木工和纺织工作. 剑, 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.
多佛市长, Councillor Gordon Cowan joined the large numbers of local people and visitors to find out about life in the Town over 1000 几年前.
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.
