AN Immersive World

Step into a realm of unforgettable adventures

Community

The NorseForged Gathering emerged organically in 2022 from a humble desire: a blade smith with a huge shop wanted to host a D&D night for his friends. A simple online invite blossomed into an epic night of tabletop games, swordplay, vendors, food, and connections. This small event sparked something bigger – a "Gathering of the Nerds" where the community itself remains the true heart of the experience. Every year the event gets bigger and better, still being run by NorseForged and friends.

another world

At NorseForged Gatherings we aim to truly have an event we can unite as the nerds we are. A place where we can live out the characters we want to be. Leveling up as we make friends, join guilds, watch performers, eat foods we've never had before, buy new gear and trinkets, and most of all - get lost in a place where we can be free of the daily grind of life. A weekend of escape and magic, where we welcome cosplay and content creation.

Quests for all

Discover endless possibilities! Choose from a diverse range of activities: wander through captivating encampments, connect with fellow enthusiasts in guilds, embark on thrilling quests for all ages, explore the adventure land for kids, compete in games, master the climbing tower, archery, axe throwing, and expand your horizons with fascinating workshops and historical lectures
