Bork Viking Market
Bork Vikingehavn once again welcomes the most popular event of the year, Bork Viking Market. From 9-11 August, the annual event will once again take place when the Vikings hold a market and visitors from near and far flock to Bork
When you step into Bork Viking Market, you enter a world full of life and activity as it was 1000 years ago. The smell of smoke from the fireplaces, the sound of trading Vikings and the sight of snorting horses create an authentic atmosphere that is hard to find anywhere else. Everywhere you look, Vikings have pitched their tents and are ready to show off their crafts. You can see plant colouring, mile burning, blacksmithing and beadwork performed by skilled volunteers who are passionate about their craft.
Impressive Viking cavalry
You can also meet the Viking equestrian centre "Kongsgaard", which presents the impressive Icelandic horses. These horses, reminiscent of the original Viking horses, will ride in imaginative formations and display their special gaits. It's a fantastic show not to be missed!
A fair trial
At Bork Viking Market you can also witness an authentic trial where the chieftain and the noblemen settle exciting disputes. What will the verdict be? Come and join us for exciting and dramatic decisions that ensure peace and order in the harbour.
Festive entertainment with crazy jugglers
The jester group Ramashang brings the harbour to life with their crazy bards and mischievous dance tricks. Music and entertainment have always been an important part of Viking markets, and Ramashang leave an unforgettable impression with their interpretations of Viking music and jesters.
Viking activities for all ages
Bork Viking Market is an experience for the whole family. Children can bake flatbread over a campfire, shoot a bow and arrow and play on the Viking playground. The museum's archaeologists are ready to talk about local finds from the Viking Age, and when hunger strikes, there are plenty of delicious food experiences inspired by Viking-era ingredients - from sandwiches to cold draft beer and ice cream.

and excitement.
