Where history meets the wild
We are pleased to announce the return of our Brynskaldr-Medieval and Nature Partnership event in Sirhowy Hill Woodlands over the first Bank Holiday weekend in May.
We will be working in collaboration with Drengskapr, a Scandinavian Early Medieval combat and living history reenactment group based in Bristol and South Wales. A medieval living history village will take over our main cattle field, with battles and medieval fighting competitions.
There will also be live music, food and drink vendors, crafts and activities for the whole family.
Brynskaldr 2027 will be open to the public on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd May from 10am until 5pm. More details will follow.
Full-contact displays, duels and tournament action.
