three weeks in 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 has its own theme. During this we focus more on a particular craft and sometimes there are 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. Guided tours around the farm, try viking food, iron forging, cast a talisman, read runes, games, stories and much more. 12.30 every day: Storytelling (in Swedish) 13.30 every day: Fire-making 14.30 every day: Games |
