Norðheim Vaknar — The Viking Village Awakens
We’re Donna and Phoenix — hospitality professionals, educators, craftspeople, history nerds, and founders of Northern Realms .
For over three years, we’ve brought Viking-style axe throwing and archery to festivals, schools, and events across the UK.
Now, we’re ready to raise our banners and build something permanent:
A fully immersive, off-grid Viking village — on our own land in Yorkshire.
Welcome to Norðheim: a dream that will become a home.
A living, breathing return to the old ways. Crafted by hand. Rooted in heritage. Open to all.
What We’re Building:
A self-sufficient Viking-style village and campsite
- Off-grid huts, fire pits, long hall, and sacred gathering spaces
- Archery and axe throwing ranges
- Crafting areas for shield making, rune carving, and blacksmithing
- A community for Norse pagans, bush crafters, history-lovers, and wild spirits
- Educational visits for schools and home schoolers
- Seasonal rituals, storytelling feasts, and cultural events
Why We Need Your Help
We’re raising funds to buy our own 3-5 acres of land in Yorkshire — a place we can shape from the ground up into a living Viking settlement. We’ve already built the business, the brand, the tools, and the fire — now we need the land to plant it all in.
Your donations will help us:
- Purchase suitable land with space for buildings, forest, and ritual zones
- Begin Phase One of Norðheim: huts, campsite, fire circle, and crafting shelters
- Establish compost systems, firewood stores, and water access
- Acquire animals, fencing, and basic infrastructure
- Bring Norðheim to life — sustainably, independently, and with community at its core
What You Get
You’re not just donating — you’re helping build a village that others will live, learn, and grow in.
Every donor will have their name added to our “Shield Wall of Support” — a real timber wall at the village, engraved with the names of those who made it possible.
Let’s Build This Together
Norðheim will be a place of peace and fire. Of battle cries and quiet rites. A village that doesn’t just show history — but lives it.
Help us raise the first long posts. Lay the first firestone. Speak the first oath.
Norðheim is coming. Be part of the awakening.
