Attention Vikings!

We've made a few updates to our workshop schedule for the 2026 Ohio Viking Festival.

• Class times have been adjusted throughout the weekend.
• We've added a brand-new class: **Shields Throughout History** presented by Birchouse Workshop!

Learn about the evolution of shields from the Viking Age through the medieval period, explore their construction and use, and gain a deeper understanding of the warriors who carried them into battle.

Be sure to check the updated workshop schedule before making your plans for the weekend. Whether you're interested in runes, shield building, or the events that marked the end of the Viking Age, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
