| The
three first weeks of July, the viking farm Årsjögård
is crowded with vikings who will show you and tell you what life is like
in the Viking Age. Each week there is a new theme. During these we focus more on a particular craft and sometimes there will also be craftsmen visiting the farm, demonstrating and selling crafts. There are many things at the farm you will be able to do or see every day we are open, no matter what the theme is. Guided tours around the farm, try viking food, iron forging, cast a talisman, read runes, games, stories and much more. Please note: we do not accept cards, only cash. |
