CANCELLED Vikings Attack!  

19th/20th September 10am – 4pm 

Normal admission prices

Sadly our ‘Vikings Attack’ event featuring Viking re-enactment group Wuffa Vikings is unable to go ahead this year due to restrictions related to COVID-19. Unfortunately an event on the scale planned, with multiple reenactment groups, was not possible. The Farm is still open for visitors with a range of demonstrations and displays on ancient life, pre-book tickets here.

We hope the Vikings will be back to battle for Butser before too long!

An action-packed weekend as Anglo-Saxon group Herigeas Hundas  defend the magnificent Butser Saxon Hall from the marauding Vikings of Wuffa, back for a second attempt to claim it for themselves! 

......... 

This September, the Viking horde of Wuffa from Suffolk once again make the journey to the prosperous Hampshire farm of Butser, planning a raid to take it for themselves, by whatever means necessary.  

But Butser have a fearsome war band of Anglo-Saxons, the brutal Herigeas Hundas who call these lands their home and are prepared to fight to the death to keep what they hold sacred! Last year the Vikings were defeated in their attempt so this time there is a score to settle! 

Get up close and personal with vicious warriors from both tribes, and touch, smell and see the day to day events of camp life, both on the road to war and in an established settlement. 

There will be craft, traditional skills, combat and archery demonstrations on throughout the weekend, culminating each day with a final battle as the Vikings make their attack on the Saxon hall. 

Can Herigeas Hundas defend their settlement and keep the beautiful mead hall at Butser safe, or will the Vikings of Wuffa be triumphant and drive out the Anglo-Saxons for good? Only a clash of the shield walls will decide! 

Normal admission applies.
