Velcome all
Viking
friends!
Welcome to the Borre market from the 4th-6th of July 2008.
To contact Borre Vikinglag about the market please use the button bellow.
Are you interested in history, the Viking age and old crafts?. Or maybe you are just curious about what it is like to be a modern Viking, attending markets to shop, view old crafts or what about making your own Viking garments!?.

Borre Vikinglags aim is to spread knowledge about Borre and Vestfolds history, in particulare the Iron age/Vikingage, and to broaden the knowledge about dayli life and crafts from this period. During the market, that we arrange every other year, we have seminares about different subjects. Making iron from iron ore found in marshes, our black smiths make knives, axes and even frying pans from this iron. The archers make their own long bows and arrows, and we learn shoe making, pottery and song. Embroidery and card weaving can also be topics in these seminares. During the market we live in wool or linnen tents and make our dinner over open fire. At the beach you can see Viking ships and smaller boats that are used in rowing contests, archer and ax throwing contests are held.
We would love if you left a note in our guestbook!
