Our Flag flying proud at a recent event.
Ormsheim (which means home of the Dragon in Old Norse) is a reenactment group based in Leeds (in West Yorkshire, UK) specialising in that period of history known as the Dark Ages, a violent, troubled but incredibly compelling time in history. As a group we aim to recreate this period as authentically as possible.
Mighty Viking, Saxon and (sometimes) Norman armies clash on the field, fighting for glory, gold and land.
Skilled artisans craft their wares, demonstrating traditional skills such as woodworking, leatherworking weaving and bone and antler working.
Children run and play, practising for the day when they will follow their kin folk onto the field.
Monks and priests weave through the crowd, bringing comfort to the faithful and attempting to convert the non-believers.
