Hello.
Me and my husband, Gregory (who is the armourer who made lately few replicas of Vendel Period helmets, maybe you know our site : www.thorkil.ovh.org) are planning now our holidays. Of course, we want them to be Viking holidays.
We wanted to spend some time in Denmark in Ribe and visit Moeasgaard festival, but there is no more room for Moeasgaard this year.
So, we are thinking about Sweden. We were in Foteviken last summer and it was great. But this year we can have holidays no sooner than in July.
Could you recommend us some fine Viking events or markets in Sweden in July? and in August, eventually? We would like to have 3 weeks of holidays.
I would like to visit Birka - is there an event or a market?
We have a lot too offer, not only selling our beautiful helmets. Thorkil could do a show presenting forging helmets of one piece of steel (like it was in Middle Ages), if organisers would provide conditions of good furnace (hearth? I am not sure which word is correct) and a smithy. Do you know if some museum/market would be interested in such an offer?
All the best from Poland,
Gracjana and Gregory (aka Thorkil).
