For Vikings

 

Meginjord

As a member of VikingaTider´s support club Meginjord, you have the privilege of taking part in special tours, lectures and events of various kinds. If you choose to be an active member, you will be part of the great community that works together to promote VikingaTider as a visitor destination.

 

Do you want to be involved in communicating the Viking Age?

Something for you?

No matter who you are and what level of knowledge you have or just have a pure interest, you are welcome. You will have the opportunity to participate in crafts of various kinds , theatre, pedagogy, role-playing and more. Not everyone knows everything, but everyone knows something. Therefore, it is good to be committed and not afraid to talk to people. You contribute with your knowledge but keep in mind that it is our visitors, young and old, who should have as pleasant and rich an experience as possible while you may learn something new.

 

What can you learn?

You get to take part in the history and knowledge of everything from the site, various finds, crafts, etc. Here you can try and practice various crafts such as textile work, leather technology, ceramics, cooking, metal and wood, etc.

You can also take part in our larger projects of various kinds, such as the Maritime Archaeology.

Or way not join the boat team in SVEG and learn how to sail and take care of a historic ship?

All our activities in bringing history to life take place in the farm and houses of the historic environments. We work in period " viking clothes " and we use only historical tools and methods as far as we can. If you don´t have your own viking clothing that suits your role, you can borrow it from the museum.

What else do you get?

Not only do you get to borrow historical clothing, but you also get 10% in the shop and at lectures, the opportunity to borrow from our own library. There is some access to shower and toilet but also the opportunity for self-catering such as kitchen, fridge etc.
