We are the Ormsheim Vikings. Based in Leeds, we are a regional group of The Vikings, the oldest and largest Dark Ages re-enactment group in the UK We provide both battle re-enactment and living history encampments for events all over the country. We travel to events all over the UK (and even as far as mainland Europe). Please check out our Gallery page for photos of us in action. We are the green and white shields.
Within the camp you will find people from all walks of life, from the lowliest slave to the king himself, from a humble peasant farmer to an accomplished warrior, from a skilled artisan to a housewife. Children run about engaged in both chores and training for their later lives.
Our combat displays show how the warriors would of fought. Using authentic, real, but blunted, weapons and shields our combatants are trained to use accurate fighting styles in a controlled manner.
To ensure that we fight safely and at as high a standard as we can, we train every Tuesday. For group members we do ask a charge of £3 to cover the cost of the hall. (other groups £2)
New members are always welcome. For first time people, you don't need anything to come along we have group kit to borrow for the session and our experienced members will take you through the basics.
