Discover the fascinating world of the Vikings with local reenactment goup Nordan-Jorfors, through live combat reenactments in our downstairs gallery, taking place at intervals throughout the day. Upstairs, explore Viking-age craft workshops and demonstrations, and browse a mini market featuring beautifully handmade goods.
