What happens

A park in the middle of a small Småland town becomes a Viking camp for a weekend: crafts, combat displays, music and food, organised by the local Emådalen Vikings. It is a community event rather than a destination, but it lands in the quiet weeks between Ale and Gamla Uppsala.

Getting there

Vetlanda is in the Småland highlands, about two and a half hours from Gothenburg and three from Copenhagen by car. Trains reach Vetlanda via Nässjö. The park is in the town centre.
