Visitors to a North Yorkshire castle will be able to see Normans and Saxons do battle later this month.

English Heritage brings history to life in Richmond over the Easter weekend as Saxons and Vikings take on William the Conqueror's troops.

The event, on Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, also includes demonstrations of some of the crafts of the era, with domestic scenes illustrating the skills which would have been required.

Admission to the castle is £3.60 for adults, £2.70 for concessions, and £1.90 for children. English Heritage members will be admitted free.
