4pm-10pm : Celebrate Midsummer the Nordic way with us!

We're celebrating Midsummer in 2023! The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. Traditionally, Midsummer was a crucial time of year for the Vikings. They would meet and discuss legal matters, as well as resolve disputes around the summer solstice. So bring your clan and resolve any disputes in our Swordmaster's Challenge arena!

Join us for the torch lighting ceremony and throw an offering into the brazier with us to celebrate at the God's Garden Friday night.
