Summer is approaching, and Egdehirden is preparing for another season filled with Viking markets, medieval festivals, historical combat, and travel across Scandinavia and beyond!
Throughout the summer, our members will participate in several events where we will represent Egdehirden through Viking combat demonstrations, historical martial arts, camp life, and public fight shows. Some events will include organized combat performances and tournaments, while others will focus on living history, training, and meeting the public.
These festivals are a fantastic opportunity for us to meet other groups, exchange knowledge, improve our combat skills, and share our passion for historical culture with visitors of all ages.
