A splendid centrepiece to any nighttime procession.
Our fiery Viking Ship is the perfect figurehead to lead a lively procession through your streets.
Complete with flaming sails and a beautifully carved prow that breathes fire, this magnificent metal vessel is perfect for festivals, maritime events, harbours or ports – especially those with a history linked to the Vikings. Two costumed characters accompany the ship, which is built on an electric golf buggy chassis.
You can find out more info on our flaming vessel here. Share with your colleagues and partners and get in touch with us for a chat.
‘One of the most thrilling events to have taken place at the Freedom Festival was the torchlight procession that opened the festival.’
Cecile Oxaal, Chair of the Hull Amnesty Group

We can also invite your communities to accompany the ship with flaming torches – and help us to build a torchlit parade with drummers, music and street performers.
The Viking Ship led a torchlit procession of 750 people through the Old Town as the opening to the festival.
We worked with young people, local musicians and a reenactment group to bring North Wales’ Viking heritage to life in Llandudno. An astonishing 15,000 people crowded the streets on a cold November evening, warmed by our fearsomely fiery parade.
