Wuffa Viking and Saxon Re-enactment Society is a group of like minded individuals from all walks of life, dedicated to learning and living the ways of our past ancestors. They feature in shows and events up and down the country specialising in the dark age period that was dominated by the ferocious Vikings and brutal Saxons. Their members range in experience from those just starting out to thirty year veterans. They re-enact all parts of the dark age lifestyle including combat, but also day to day life, such as cooking, blacksmithing, leather-working, tailoring, music and much more.
They are based in Great Yarmouth/Waveney/South Norfolk/Norwich.

It's all seaside, ships and eventual sun for everyone at Another Angle Studio, as on Saturday the 11th we attended the Maritime Heritage Fair to celebrate the Excelsior's centenary! There we were able to sell prints, promote our arts and craft classes, and even made a few new friends along the way. The day was jam packed with mini adventures exploring the Excelsior and challenging the inevitable weather. All in which will be featured in this issue. Below are pictures and descriptions of our time at the Lowestoft Heritage Open Day event.
Coming up this September, we at Another Angle Studio are happy to announce our participation with Heritage Open Days , between the 10th to the 19th of September. Our studio and gallery will be open featuring our familiar exhibitors: Miriam King, Tim Fair (Oteo) together with our private collection of the works by the marvellous Suffolk artist John Reay (with two new acquisitions - South Beach and Punch and Judy). We will also have a fabulous new artist Gary Hogben (more on his work in our forthcoming blog post). As part of Heritage Open Days, we will be joining with the Excelsior Trust for the Lowestoft Maritime Heritage Event on Heritage Quay, Lowestoft and the Herring and Ale Fayre at the Oddfellows Arms in Lowestoft . The Excelsior Trust will be hosting the Maritime Heritage Fair on Saturday 11th Sept as part of their noble charitable advent to celebrate their long and fascinating history, as well as their centenary! The day will include being able to explore the Excelsior's entire deck from top to bottom, with music, food stalls, other independent creators and shops all celebrating one hundred years since the ships creation.
Welcome to the UK's most easterly creative studio and gallery
On Tuesday September 1st, we at Another Angle Studio hosted our very first crafting fair at the high street in Lowestoft town. Hosting goodies such as face masks, custom handmade dolls, accessories, crafting kits, bags, and more. Originally we had planned to set up the week before, but due to severe weather complications, we unfortunately had to reschedule. However, we had a splendid time and would like to thank everyone who came to visit us or made a purchase at the stall. It goes a long way to help us out! With this in mind, bearing the success of the market, we have decided to set up our very own crafting stall. Other than selling our own made products, our plan for this is to receive feedback from customers on what we do right, what we can improve on, and forums for if you would like to join our upcoming crafting clubs on weekday evenings. (Limited spaces due to COVID six people per-group rules). If you are passing through or in the area, feel free to come and say hello and take a look at our stock. We look forward to seeing you there!
We had a super special person to celebrate last weekend - gaining a First in Law at Kings College London! So, we presented her with our one-of-a-kind graduation keepsake. Excited with squeals of delight this handmade doll is a now a treasured possession and a reminder of their effort and our pride in their achievement. Huge congratulations to Katie Barton on her massive success throughout this troubling year! (A great collective special family gift; handmade with personalisation for thoughtful giving). WE ARE TAKING ORDERS - BESPOKE – Contact us with details for a discussion and quotation.
