ÓÐR HIRD

We are a group of people who love history so much that we decided to set up a project to build an early medieval settlement in the Great Manchester area to show as many people as possible how fascinating the world of the early Middle Ages is. At the end of 2019, we founded the group. ÓÐR HIRD We try to faithfully recreate the life, crafts and fighting methods that dominated in the early Middle Ages.

So far, we have completed many events and projects typical of the world of reconstruction. Our chronicle includes events organized by our group, live history lessons and charity events, and among us there are many hobbyists of ancient crafts such as blacksmithing, weaving and carpentry. 

The group has more and more members every year, and we have more and more ideas and projects to implement. 

Therefore, we are looking for support for our passion and dream - building our own medieval village, a place where history comes to life and ancient crafts become a reality. As an early medieval reconstruction group, we want to create a place where children and adults can immerse themselves in the world of our ancestors - the people of that time.

Our town will not be just a collection of stones and a pile of wood, but a place where history comes to life through education and fun. We want schools, families and history enthusiasts to visit us regularly to see how people once lived, how they worked, how they had fun and how they defended themselves.

By organizing craft workshops, archery and even safe fights for children, we want to preserve and pass on old skills and traditions. Our passion comes from love for history and old crafts, and our heart beats for people who want to discover the past with us.

All this cannot come true without support. We need your help to raise funds to purchase land and build our place on earth. Each penny brings us closer to our goal, closer to a place that will be open to all who want to learn about the history and traditions of our ancestors
