Viking Invasion

Viking Saturday January 19th

On January 19th, grab your helmet, axe, and shield and join your Viking brothers as they wash upon our shores to raid the Higgins Armory. 

 

  • Seize an axe and shield and try out Viking methods of "peace making" in a combat class
  • Celebrate your victory with traditional games
  • Try your hand at creating 4-in-1 mail - just like the Vikings used to protect themselves
  • Explore Viking artistry as you make your own Viking shield and runic pendant
