Living History displays, which Vikings Of Middle England are able to supply, can vary to meet requirements. A Small tented encampment of the roving war band, to a more extensive "Village" incorporating our many crafts displays and information points or even a full-size stockade, where its defenders are awaiting the onslaught of the forthcoming siege.

We aim to make our Living History displays breathe, as the Viking (or Saxon) families and craftsmen go about their daily routines from cooking and weaving to blacksmithing and wood turning. Many of the craftsmen also produce goods for sale and this adds yet another dimension to the exhibits as the true feel of the dark age market permeates.

The public are invited to walk into the living history display and see the various activities and artifacts at first hand and in some cases to have a go themselves. There are always members of the society on hand who are happy to answer any questions.

Our extensive living history displays are designed to give a careful blend of information and enjoyment to the attending public. An extensive selection of displays, crafts and stalls are available, each situated in an 'authentic' setting and with members in costume on hand to demonstrate, inform and in some cases, assist and supervise as the public make their way around the camp.
