About Danelaw Viking Reenactment
Danelaw is a Nottingham based group of The Vikings re-enactment Society. We are dedicated to recreating the life and times of the Early medieval period, not only the battles and skirmishes of the period, but also the dress, crafts and every-day life of the different peoples of that time. Founded in 1971, The Vikings are the oldest and largest Early medieval re-enactment society in the UK ... and probably the world!
We portray events from the famous Viking raid at Lindisfarne in 793 AD to the Norman Invasion of 1066 where William claimed the crown of England after the Battle of Hastings.Our aim is always to provide an accurate and educational portrayal of the Early Mediaeval period whilst ensuring a memorable and enjoyable day for those who come to watch our events.
Danelaw as a group have always prided ourselves on our combat prowess but in recent years we were awarded the Living History award by the Vikings society, which is a big improvement from women sitting on hay bales! We have regular training sessions for combat as well as crafting sessions looking at authentic crafts we can do in Living History.
