Darren Ormandy enjoyed taking time to enjoy the scenery at the weekend's Viking Festival in Norsewood.
The Wellington resident decided to travel to the historic village to see the festival, which is considered one of the biggest of its kind in the country.
Ormandy said he had been doing re-enactments for about a year, although some of the re-enactments he'd taken part in were around the Boer War.
The festival was his way of getting in touch with his Saxon roots.
"It's an interesting period," he said.
