Join professional storyteller Jason Buck for ‘Sláine: The Horned God’: a tale of ancient Celtic heroes and villains, monsters and magic, dragons and demons, and goddesses and gods; all at the epicly atmospheric Viking longhouse at Moorforge Viking Settlement, nestled in the heart of the Lake District.
Set in a “time which is not a time” when Britain was rife with magic and mischief, this show brings together the epic heroic exploits and divine transformation of the one who would be High King of the Tribes of the Earth Goddess, reimagining ancient mythologies, adapted and brought to life through traditional storytelling, for modern audiences.
In partnership with 2000 AD and Rebellion Publishing, created by Pat Mills ‘the godfather of British comics’ and Angie Kincaid, Sláine has captured the imagination of comics readers for generations.
Camping: Basic camping facilities are available on site, with running water and WCs (no showers) for £5 / person, payable to site owner on arrival.
Ages: Adult and teen (12+), not suitable for children
"Absolutely glorious – would love to see it again or indeed more of this… can’t recommend enough", preview show, Oxford.
"Not knowing the stories of Sláine at all I now want to read them. Absolutely brilliant, didn’t want it to end", preview show, Oxford
"Spectacular adaptation - honours source material and the sources Mills himself drew upon. A pleasure!", preview show, Oxford
“I am very excited about this!” Pat Mills, Sláine co-creator.
