The Thing Committee

The People Behind Valhalla

We’re not exactly settling feuds at The Thing for Valhalla Viking Festival, but we are getting together as free people to make this happen for our community.

Valhalla is built by a small group of people, supported by volunteers, attendees, traders, performers and the incredible community that helped bring the festival to life.

This page is here to introduce some of the people helping organise Valhalla and to honour the supporters who helped start it.

Meet The Team

The small but determined crew helping bring Valhalla Viking Festival together.

Event Jarl

Steve

Co-founder of Valhalla Viking Festival, Steve has a hand in every part of making this festival happen. From arranging the necessary legal details to securing activities and leading the team, he is a very busy Viking before and during the festival.

He has also run casting workshops during the festival, with activity details shared through the Activities page when available.

Lead Shieldmaiden

Andreea

Together with Steve, Andreea is involved in every part of the festival before and during the event. She helps answer questions, coordinate the many moving parts of Valhalla and keep the wider team moving forward.

She has also led horn carving workshops during the festival, with activity details shared through the Activities page when available.

VVF Heimdallr

Tony

Not just because of his shining blond hair, though maybe a little, Tony is our VVF Heimdallr because of his knowledge, logistics skills and mead-drinking abilities.

A master of logistics who has organised everything from ridiculous parties to huge rock gigs and events, he helps make sure the Valhalla music and event flow run smoothly.

Founding Supporters

With our deepest gratitude, we thank those who helped fund the start of Valhalla on Kickstarter.

The First Horde

Without their help and support, we never could have made this happen. They were part of the beginning of Valhalla, and we will always be grateful for the part they played in starting it.

You are all a part of this, and we vow to make sure all those who join us have the best time we can possibly arrange.
