UP HELLY AA Viking longship replica

[aukepalmhof]

Each year a replica of a Viking longship is built for Up Helly Aa in Lerwick, Shetland Islands.

After nightfall the longship is dragged through the streets of the town of Lerwick in a torchlight procession. The torchbearers are the members of all the squads, led by the Jarl Squad. Each squad chooses a theme and dresses accordingly. The themes are very varied, some historical, some topical or satirical.

When all the torchbearers arrive at the final resting spot of the longship, they form a circle round it and sing the traditional Up Helly Aa song.
After the singing of the Up Helly Aa song, the guizers throw their torches into the longship.

The Burning Galley. Once the longship has burned and the flames die down, guizers sing the traditional song "The Norseman's Home" before going on to a night of partying. Any available large room is pressed into service as a hall, presided over by a hostess who issues invitations to attend, and every guizer squad visits every hall in turn to dance and drink with the guests. As there can be dozens of squads and dozens of halls, this takes most of the night and well into the following morning. The day after is the "Hop Night" where further dances and celebrations are held.
