Hedeby Living History Traders had a great weekend at Abbey Medieval Festival despite the weather. Group members engaged the public in hands on querning demonstrations as well as discussions on rope in the Viking age - and there were even a few impromptu lyre performances.

Only 07 months until Armidale 2024! We are all working hard on our kit so we can put our best foot forward in the forest once more. Armidale is one of the best and most relaxing events in our calander - and because of this we almost never get any photos! Here are some photos from 2022 I managed to unearth!

Hedeby Living History Traders would like to thank Abbey Medieval Festival for a great 2023 event. Our members had a brilliant time interacting with the thousands of attendees who came through our camp.

Visitors were treated to a hands-on demonstration of milling grain though a Viking quern as well as learning about the long process of rendering animal fat for use in clay lamps. We also held a special interactive talk on Viking funeral practices.

Along with our educational demonstrations, group members presented displays on spinning with a drop spindle, wool processing, musical instrument making and lamp making.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at the Abbey Medieval Festival in 2024.
