Living History Village
The Past Comes to Life...
Visit the Living History Encampment on the lawned area between the Hilton Hotel, Pendigo Lake and the NEC to experience life in AD 60 and 950.
Two different time periods are represented by re-enactment groups. In their camps you can find out more about their past lifestyle. In the Arena there will be demonstrations of weapons and battles.
The Encampment is open from 10:00 am till 5:00 pm each show day, and all events are completely free
Meet the Vikings
- At our Living History Encampment, you can find out more about how the Vikings lived, worked, ate, and gamed a thousand years ago.
- Ardenweard are a Warwickshire-based group of The Vikings re-enactors. Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to rub shoulders with Vikings in their full attire and try out board games from the Dark Ages: such as Hnefatafl and Nine Men’s Morris.
