These are the last few days to see the free exhibition at Leominster Priory. 'Vikings at the Priory' closes on Monday 22nd June 2026 at 4pm. So be quick and visit over this weekend and see some Viking and Anglo-Saxon inspired art. 'Vikings at the Priory' takes its own inspiration from the magical Herefordshire Hoard that was discovered by metal detectorists in June 2015. Sadly they illegally broke the find up and sold it piecemeal. However, you can view copies of some of the items that were recovered until the 22nd June at Leominster Priory. There are 3 more events to see before we finish: - Leominster Choral Society Summer Concert on Saturday 7pm - Border Voices with Baroque strings coral gems on Sunday evening 7pm free with donations - A talk by Peter Macintosh - The Viking, his Wife and the Lost Queen of Wales on Monday 6pm Visit the Priory Arts website for details.

Regia Anglorum Weekend Highlights

Wow – what a great weekend with Regia Anglorum – there were over 2,000 visitors who joined us in the Priory grounds to
celebrate all things Anglo-Saxon and Viking.
Regia Anglorum camped in the Priory grounds and gave fabulous displays of life in Anglo-Saxon times and we were privileged
to witness battle re-enactments, Viking burials, a fashion show and a beautiful Anglo-Saxon night prayer and service held in the Priory.
Huge thanks to all who took part and enjoyed this wonderful weekend.
