Weorod are a small, independent group of Historical Interpreters who specialise in providing Living History and Re-enactment displays for local events, working predominantly with Museums and Heritage Organisations.
Based in Portsmouth, Southern Hampshire we recreate one of the most decisive eras in the history of Britain, the Early Medieval or Dark Age period. Portraying the lives of the early inhabitants of the area during the Migration Period, through the 5th to 7th Centuries, we strive to provide an accurate representation of the early 'Anglo-Saxon' people with an emphasis on the archaeological evidence from our local area.
