Villagers upset by 'Viking' party
');
PLANS for a three-day festival with a Vikings theme have drawn complaints from neighbours.
The Valhalla event, which is due to take place at Roundhouse Farm in Fawley from Friday to Sunday, July 16 to 18, would include a nightly “feast” in a temporary hall which could seat up to 499 guests who would camp overnight.
Participants, who are encouraged to wear traditional costume, would have food brought to tables over a period of three to four hours as well as “free” top-ups of mead and real ale.
Music could be played over a public address system between noon and 11pm and there could also be performances by a band playing a mix of authentic songs on period instruments and Norse-themed rock and heavy metal.
