Vestansaer Vikings is a living history and educational group, concentrating on the Viking age – from 793 through 1066 AD. We strive for an authentic presentation of the culture, weapons and crafts from a thousand years ago, including Viking, Norman and Anglo-Saxon re-enactment.
Members of Vestansaer have been filmed twice for History Channel productions and have provided extras, weaponry, clothing and props for several independent film projects. Our members provided authentic weapon sound effects for How to Train Your Dragon and historic authenticity consulting for Hammer of the Gods, a British Viking movie released in 2013. Vestansaer members work with educational and Scandinavian heritage groups to provide a balanced view of one of history’s most fascinating periods and cultures.
Most of our members live in the extended San Francisco Bay Area, currently north to Santa Rosa and Windsor, northeast to Sacramento and Rocklin, east to Stockton and south to San Jose. We attend events and group meetings throughout the year; see our Calendar of Events to check out the schedule.
