Sjorvaldar Vikings are a 501.(c)3 non-profit organization that’s primary focus is dedicated to enriching the educational experience through immersive living history. Sjorvaldar was founded with a shared interest and passion for the history, crafts, battle elements of all things Scandinavian, with the intention and commitment to share it with the public with as much authenticity as possible.

 

Members aim to depict a mobile, seasonal camp/temporary village complete with living quarters, work spaces, and recreational areas. The village not only showcases the lifestyle and culture of the period, but also the harsher and battle ready aspects of life in what was was know as the Viking age, specifically the 10th century.

With a thoughtful training regimen and regular training sessions, members learn the ins and outs of planning and performing a safe, entertaining and as close to real as possible combat display, without jeopardizing our personal safety. Both men and women are encouraged to raid with us alike!

 

At our events we strive to a high standard of presentation, historical accuracy and attention to detail with all endeavors, whether with active demonstrations or displays. Our presentations are based upon archaeological research and literary research.

From weaving, to blacksmithing, to woodworking and everything in between, members enjoy sharing their skills with and educating the public by demonstrating live period crafts as they would have been practiced during the viking age.
