See what’s included →

Join award-winning storyteller Jason Buck around the crackling fire in Butser’s Great Roundhouse as he brings Viking legends to life.

While Thor thunders, Loki schemes, and giants blunder about, there are darker things abroad: Ulfhednar, the cult of warrior wolf-men, fighting monstrous raiders from the deep northern oceans, and the Draugr dead that leave their barrow mounds to hunt the living.

Presented live, in the amazing setting of Butser Ancient Farm's Iron Age roundhouse, this collections of Viking legends breaks open the lid of stranger and more sinister tales from the Norse heroes and villains, the victors and victims.

There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.

Age: Adult and teens (12+)
