Viking markets and festivals in Europe – 2026 season

These are the markets and festivals where reenactors, craftspeople and Viking Age enthusiasts meet. The 2026 season is over – we will add the 2027 calendar as soon as the dates are announced.

Othala Craft at the markets: we have been selling at Viking markets for over 20 years – among others in Ribe and Trelleborg (Denmark), at Hedeby/Haithabu (Germany) and at the Festival of Slavs and Vikings in Wolin (Poland). At our stall you can feel the fabrics and try the clothes on before you buy.
