When you visit the living history or reenactment villages you will travel trough time. Experience different periods of Scottish history. See the Vikings (Hands of Lugh 793-1066). Not only will they be portraying marauding Vikings but one shelter will be portraying the life of Vikings that have settled into Scottish villages that they captured! Experience Medieval times with the Barony of Castel Rouge. The last Jacobite Uprising (Outlander) in 1745-47; The Selkirk Settlers at Red River 1812-25 with The Manitoba Living History Society, thru to the present day with the Red River North Tourism’s Arts & Heritage Committee displays.

The villages are set up the night before. The reenactment/living history folk dress, live, shelter, eat, breath, sleep and function as historically correct as possible to their time period.

Create your costume and equipment surrounded by mentors who will be working on their own costumes, leather working, metal working, weaponry, fighting demonstrations and learning about the history of that time, throughout the year. Please keep in mind that it will take more than one workshop to make a costume.
