Midgard – In the park of Borre, where the mighty rulers of the Norwegian Vikings lived, feasted, and was laid to rest. The park was a headquarters for power and culture in the Iron – and Viking age. The park has several great grave mounds and the great Viking Hall at Borre, Gildehallen, is a unique reconstruction of a great mead hall for the viking aristocracy. This is where the festivalarea will be with an outdoor stage, the Beerfestival and the Viking market surrounding it. Here you can meet real Vikings and get a feel of the Viking life. In the daytime there will be guided tours, panel discussions, lectures, exhibitions and beer tasting from handpicked craft beer labels.
