A unique Anglo-Saxon experience could make the perfect Christmas gift for film goers who enjoyed the recent blockbuster movie Beowulf. The climax of this enthralling evening at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village will be a fire-lit performance from the Beowulf saga in the atmospheric setting of the Hall, recreating how the epic tale was first heard around 1,500 years ago.

Dr Sam Newton, (the Beowulf and Anglo-Saxon expert), begins by setting the scene with a fascinating talk, followed by a buffet meal. A short candlelit walk will then take you to the Anglo-Saxon Hall, to be greeted with a “Waes Hael” (good health) by a costumed Anglo-Saxon and entranced by the sounds of a traditional lyre. Then sit back in the dancing firelight and enjoy Dr Newton’s masterful performance. This very special evening is sure to inform and delight
