Borrekaupangen 2024 – Nordic Vikingmarket

This year Borrekaupangen – Nordic Vikingmarked will celebrate. Borre Vikinglag turns 30 years in 2024! 
Vikings and visitors who have enriched the events over the years will be honored. The local and international viking community and the many crafts that bring the exciting history to life will be celebrated.

You are all welcome to celebrate at Borrekaupangen on July 5.-7th!

 

Borre vikinglag

The team is Norway's oldest Viking team, and among its members are all types of people, from archaeologists to farmers with a common interest in Viking times, history, Viking activities and the preservation of old crafts. Most of the team members make their own equipment.

The purpose is to spread knowledge about the history of Borre and Vestfold, especially in the Iron Age/Viking Age, and to expand knowledge about daily life and crafts in this period. Through practical knowledge of how the Vikings lived and active collaboration with archaeologists and professionals, history is continued. Here you can experience more than reading about history, and join in living like a Viking! The Viking team therefore makes clothes, tools, boats and equipment as the Vikings did. Through their work, commitment and enthusiasm, the image of the Viking Age is communicated to the public through activities at events and seminars. Midgard Viking Center is one of the Viking team's partners.

You can read more on the Borre viking team's own website.
