}}Vikings! of Middle England (also known as Tÿrslið) is a Viking re-enactment and living history group based in Leicester, UK. They portray the people who lived, travelled to and invaded Britain in the Viking-Age. The organisation once owned a scale replica Longship called Ratatosk.[1] Tÿrslið's aim is to entertain and educate an audience using a mix of drama, pageant, historical context, demonstration and audience participation.[2]

Vikings of Middle England perform at events throughout the UK, including at places of historical interest such as Rockingham Castle,[3] carnivals,[4] festivals[5] and local events,[6] and also at other visitor attractions such as Conkers.[7]

Vikings of Middle England also provide displays and resources for education, at schools and for seminars. The organisation has lent expertise[8] and kit to researchers for books,[9][10][11] websites[12] and conferences while also publishing articles on their website suitable for UK Key Stage 2 students.

Vikings of Middle England's membership is mostly based in the city of Leicester. However, some members hail from the surrounding East Midlands[13] and further afield.
