The large market featuring sale of crafts, food, tastings, and music is there for your senses. Historical settings, with reconstructed buildings from the Viking era, set a nice framework and a wonderful atmosphere around the event. This is a meeting place for friendship and cultural development.

In the various tents, work is being done on traditional handicrafts and the sale of self-produced goods. See the blacksmith at work, listen to Viking music, or try different activities like archery, horse riding, juggling, or theater.
