Being a Viking reenactor is not only about ferocious battles and clashing shields, sometimes its all about transporting kids and adults back in time and educating about life as it was.
Time away from phones and screens and getting children and their parents interested in historic facts and objects was the initiative at the Red Line Book festival at Tallaght library.
To be able to touch and ask questions is wonderful for kids imagination and they clearly enjoyed havings us visit them
Thanks to Tallaght County Library for inviting us! 🤗⚔️

We were very honoured to attend the launch of iViking - an interactive app developed by the NorseMap project this weekend in Cork.
NorseMap is based at UCC and some of our Vikings travelled to Cork to celebrate the launch with them, as well as fellow reenactors, invited guests and special guest performance by Einar Selvik of Wardruna.
We wish the NorseMap team much success with the app and recommend everyone to check it out!

Living history is our passion and the reason we started the Boyne Valley Viking Experience 5 years ago.
It has grown over the years to be Irelands largest authentic Viking festival but as everything started with an idea and a bunch of enthusiastic people who love what they do. This is still our drive to do what we do and
you also find us at smaller events where we love bringing history to life.
This weekend some of our Vikings support the Cavan County museum at the open day to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
If you are around, call in to say hello.
Cavan County Museum, Ballyjamesduff 20th of June 10 am to 5pm.
