Hi, I'm Laura Reid, the Deputy Features Editor at the Yorkshire Post and here's a look at
00:05
what's coming up in the week ahead. Parliament's in recess this week and it's half term for
00:11
many of the country's schools but there's plenty going on in the region for families
00:15
so let's have a look at some of the events. The City of York's going to be taken over
00:20
by Viking Warriors for the annual festival celebrating its heritage. The York Vic Viking
00:25
Festival is taking place from February the 17th to the 23rd. Visitors can expect living
00:31
history encampments, workshops, tours, traditional crafts and combat performances. One of the
00:36
large scale events is a March to Coppergate which will be a parade of over 200 Vikings
00:43
through the city streets. In Wakefield there's the annual celebration of Rhubarb taking place
00:49
at the weekend. The festival this year coincides with the opening weekend of a new venue in
00:55
the city, Wakefield Exchange, which is going to be a space for hosting events, street food
01:00
and studios. The festival's running from the 21st to the 23rd. There's going to be more
01:05
than 60 market chalets of food and drink as well as family activities, cooking demonstrations
01:11
and live music and heritage trails. Former motorcycle racer Guy Martin is set to appear
01:18
at the Speed Show at Elbington Airfield this weekend. The event is celebrating everything
01:24
that goes fast in a straight line, including drag races, motorbikes and supercars. Thrill
01:29
seekers can experience the rush first hand by riding shotgun in the likes of a monster
01:34
truck or motorbike sidecar. And in North Yorkshire, the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National
01:41
Park authorities are continuing their celebrations of the dark skies this week. This year's event
01:49
is the 10th Dark Skies Festival and includes night runs, canoeing and night navigations,
01:55
as well as workshops, sagas and safaris and mindful experiences. Both areas are among
02:03
few in the world to be recognised for their dark skies.
