Yule Tidings from the NC Viking Experience
Oxford, NC—December 6-7
Love the grit of ancient Norse custom? The Viking Experience is holding their Yuletide celebration in Oxford, NC this weekend. Immerse yourself in Drekheim Village, where you can dress like a viking, do some holiday shopping, throw some axes, that sort of thing.
The Viking Experience gets consistently recommended to me as great immersive fun, so this event should be well worth going to!
Cost: From $10 (Sunday) to $20 (weekend pass); Kids 8 and under free
Address: 1045 Walnut Grove Rd, Oxford, NC 27565
