Well, at the Viking Village at Tofta, Gotland, we always have fun. That's for sure.
If you haven't been there before, I think you should pay a visit. Specially if you're having kids or has an interest in history.
We try to keep the village as correct as possible, even though we can't know exactly for sure how they lived back then. After all, it was over 1000 years ago it all happened.
For kids we have a lot of activites they can try. Bake their own bread, try the longbow, visit the woodcarvers house and try some of his work. See the blacksmith in action, and many other things.
We also have a monk working with herbs and makes tea for every one, with herbs grown at the village.
Three religions are represented in our village: The Vana Faith that was before the Asa faith and then Christianity that was the end ofthe Viking age.
Here are some pictures of what you can to while visiting the village. Warmly welcome!

Busy life...
Oh, and the were the three dots again (...)
I really don't know why I love them so much, but they actually means something for me.
July... Summetime... Vaccation time, they say. Not for me.
Once again I have to much to do! This summer I am working on my normal work, and above that I am working at our Viking Village in Tofta as their Herb Master. And above that I am in a play that will be running during Medeltidsveckan på Gotland, week 32, this year.
I am playing three different parts and even am a dancer. So a lot of rehersals, but that will be fun! You have to come and see they play!
And above that I am running my company.
Vaccation time? No way....
Oh, and I shot a short film for a guy called Kristoffer Persson. He wanted to make a viking age short film and asked me to be his cinematographer. I think we did a great job. Short of time and no budget, but we had fun!
Here are some pictures from that shooting. Shot at the Viking Village in Tofta. Starring: Jakob Hellgren, Sandra Ahlqvist and Rikard Dahlberg.
