Group Activities
As a group, we strive to be as budget-friendly and family-friendly as possible. We make most of our kit within the group, or have many resources of how to make your own at home or the resources to purchase accurate items. We make items in group work days and love to share our knowledge and tips about how things were done in the time. Crafting kit items yourself also gives you a great idea of the work it took for the Vikings to create such things, and can even lead to a new-found passion for making them yourself.
