Vikings at the Priory: Viking Fashion Show
- 31st May
About This Event
The members of Regia Anglorum take to the catwalk for a presentation of the garments and accessories worn by our Anglo-Saxon and Viking forbears. The commentary will explain where the fashion trends come from, how they differ between men and women and between ordinary people and their leaders. The Vikings in particular wore very colourful clothes dyed in yellow, red, purple and blue, had elaborate hairstyles and wore a lot of ornate jewelry, much of it of a symbolic nature.
The Fashion Show takes place inside Leominster Priory at 11.30am Sunday 31st May following 10am Sunday mass delivered by Bishop David Thomson as a special celebration of the Hereford Gospels Today project.
This event is part of the Vikings at the Priory programme which runs from 27 May to 22 June. Visit: www.prioryarts.org.uk
