where to see us next

Ulfhedinn — from úlfr (wolf) and heðinn (coat) — the wolf‑warriors of the Viking Age.
Our shield‑wolves are inspired directly by the carvings on the DR 286 runestone, dated c. 1010–1040. Once part of the eight‑stone Hunnestad Monument near Ystad in southern Sweden, it was one of the most impressive monuments of the Viking Age.

The monument was documented in the 1630s by Ole Worm, who sketched all eight stones , a century before the site was destroyed during the sweeping “modernisation” ordered by Swedish nobleman Eric Ruuth (1782–1786).
Today, four of the five surviving stones are preserved at Kulturen in Lund.
The design of DR 286 has been meticulously reconstructed by Danish artist Jonas Lau Markhussen, allowing us to bring these wolves back into battle once more.

If you’ve ever been curious about becoming a Viking reenactor and what goes into the outfit, here’s a brilliant Viking kit walkthrough with Skuli Ragnarsons.

From clothing layers to weapons and accessories, it’s a great look at how a full kit comes together ⚔️🛡️

Some highlights from our first event of the year — and what a weekend it was! We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which meant plenty of successful combat archery passes, plus 5 Frihal awards to top it off.

Huge thanks to George, Tee and Cass for traveling down to us, for the training and testing 🏹

Back in September, we took part in Ulfhedinn’s first Ringwood Carnival and came first in the evening procession, being awarded a £50 prize. As we’re not able to accept monetary prizes, we donated the amount on to another cause.

Events like the carnival remind us how important community spirit is. With the Yule season upon us, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the vital role that food banks and community fridges play in supporting our communities.

⚔2nd August 2025 5:30pm (arrival from 4pm) - 3rd August 2025 10am ⚔

Join us for a special evening of delicious feasts, mythical tales and clashing steel before spending the night in our Viking Longhouse.

Upon arrival you will be given a tour of the Ancient Technology Centre before playing some historical games to break the ice and meet your fellow guests.
Members of the Vikings reenactment group will be on hand to showcase life a thousand years ago, with a chance to handle weapons and armour as well as see the kit they would take to a feast.

As the evening draws in you will be led inside the Longhouse, for a three-course meal cooked with Craig Brooks, the Saxon Forager and author of Eat Like a Viking. In between courses Craig will be on hand to talk to the guests about each dish, their inspiration, and the evidence available to us on Viking food and drink. Craig will also be on site butchering and preparing some of the food, so for those who arrive closer to 4pm may get a chance to watch and ask questions.
