Weorod are a small, independent group of Historical Re-enactors who specialise in providing Living History and Re-enactment displays for both local and national events.
Based in Portsmouth, Hampshire we recreate one of the most decisive eras in the history of Britain, the years from 428 to 1066, the Early Medieval or Dark Age period. Portraying the lives of the early Angle, Saxon and Jutish settlers of the Migration Period, through the Danish and Norwegian incursions of the Viking Age to the coming of the Normans and the end of Anglo-Saxon England we provide an accurate representation of what early medieval life may have looked like.
