Viking Age

Description

An action-packed weekend as Anglo-Saxon group Herigeas Hundas  defend the magnificent Butser Saxon Halls from the marauding Vikings of Wuffa.

In proud collaboration with the project 1000 years along the river - a Leader project within Kävlinge municipality - and Friserhästen in Skåne and Hög's guest offer, we present "The Battle of Kyfflinge bridge" - a grand celebration of the millennium anniversary of the historic battle of Kävling

A warm welcome to the harvest festival at Vitlycke museum, we cook and offer historical flavors and dishes made with the best local ingredients.

Precision work from the Viking workshop

Come and see the re-enactment group Wuffa as they occupy the Anglo-Saxon Village bringing a mix of crafts and weaponry displays.

Skillful craftsmen in Haithabu made bowls and pots out of soapstone 1000 years ago, but also amulets and game stones. But what is soapstone anyway and how did it get to Haithabu? How can it be carved? You can experience that here and of course try it out. Soapstone is used to create pendants, talismans and hand flatterers to take with you.

Time: 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

In this workshop you will be given the opportunity to engage with the imagery, iconography and symbolism of archaeological artefacts in a new and unique way. All materials are provided and in this session, you will have the opportunity to choose relevant imagery from the archaeological past to inspire the creation of your own unique art piece.
