THE spirit of the Vikings returned to Teesside yesterday at the latest in a series of children's summer holiday activity events.
More than 40 children aged from two to 13 made Viking cardboard sledges at Margrove Heritage Centre, near Boosbeck, east Cleveland.
The activity day was one of many being held on the theme of the Vikings at the centre during the holidays.
Liz Vine, education officer at Margrove, said: "You can tell they've enjoyed it because we've had two events a week and the youngsters keep on coming back.
"The latest was a little bit quieter than normal because of the weather, but overall it has been a big success with 60 or 70 children coming to each session where we've made Viking shields, Viking helmets, mini-Vikings, you name it. Our next event is next Friday when we will be making Viking longboats. Children can simply drop in between 10am and 4pm to join in."
