Vikings: The Immersive Experience is landing at Dock X this March

This March, London welcomes a powerful new cultural attraction -Vikings: The Immersive Experience landing at Dock X. Far more than a battle-led retelling, this ambitious exhibition offers an emotional and educational journey into the heart of Viking society, centred on one of its most influential dynasties. Visitors are invited to step inside the world of King Ragnar Lodbrok, Queen Kraka (Aslaug) and their legendary sons, including Ivar the Boneless and Bjorn Ironside.

Blending large-scale physical sets with cutting-edge technology, the experience unfolds across richly detailed environments designed to fully immerse guests in the Viking age. Highlights include a dramatic forest-style discovery space and a towering mythological Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree, brought to life through light, sound and projection. High-resolution video mapping, virtual reality and a sweeping cinematic score combine to transport visitors back to 9th-century Scandinavia and the lands the Vikings once explored and conquered.

A defining feature of the exhibition is its focus on Queen Kraka, whose wisdom, foresight and spiritual power are often overshadowed in popular history. Through storytelling and immersive visuals, visitors follow her journey from hidden royal lineage to revered völva, revealing the pivotal role she played in shaping one of the most feared families of the North.

The experience culminates in a striking 360-degree cinematic presentation set around a real Viking longship, guiding audiences through a tale of love, fate, vengeance and legacy. Accessible, multi-sensory and thoughtfully designed, Vikings: The Immersive Experience will appeal to history lovers, families, school groups and fans of Vikings alike.

Tickets start from £19 for children and £23 for adults, with concessions and VIP options available. Public opening on 13^th March 2026.

Address: Dock X, Unit 1 Canada Water, Surrey Quays Rd, London, SE16 2XU

The Portrait & Meditate weekend retreat runs from the 29th – 31st October this year and will be hosted in the heart of Norfolk. Relax, restore your mind and get back into drawing with ArtistAnd, who throughout the retreat will be running portrait masterclasses and meditation sessions, along with pumpkin portrait carvings as the retreat falls over the Halloween weekend!

The retreat allows artists of every ability level to explore what is involved in creating a portrait and attendees will leave the weekend with a self-created masterpiece to call their own. China Jordan, the creative force behind ArtistAnd, will be running the drawing masterclasses, guiding students through the creative process in more than 8 hours of tuition.

The retreat will take place at the stunning West Lexham venue, situated in Norfolk – the venue has double and single rooms available with private bathrooms. In the evenings, there will be plenty of downtime for guests to go for a wild dip outdoors and chill out by the fire pit. You’ll leave this retreat feeling nothing but relaxed!

ArtistAnd offers workshops, oil paintings & masterclasses for businesses as well as bespoke classes and retreats for the general public. They believe that everyone can draw and that we should all be trying to push the limits of our creativity. If you want to get involved with Art, this is a great way to share the experience with others and learn from an expert, whilst surrounded by nature.
