Did anyone visit Jorvik Viking Festival as a reenactor? How it was? Is it difficult to get access here? What would I need hypothetically?

Right, so basically I got a full highly detailed rundown of requirements and "kit" standards, and how to go about finding an organization or club to get entry as a reenactor. You cant just show up.
Anyways my point is that its a very specific question that almost nobody has knowledge off except for a small cohort who likely arent even on 4chan. If you want a thread about traveling to events of this sort maybe consider getting the info first, laying it out, then asking if anyone else is interested.

no clue about that one
but my medieval town and nearby castle always organize a big ren fair (Mittelalterfestival)
combination of a big, casual arts and crafts market throughout the historical city center and a strict larp / tournament in the castle
and to get into the castle (as a non-spectator)
you only need a very minimal outfit that fits the aesthetic
obviously it's a lot cooler if you come with more
but simple leather shoes, doublet or shirt and wide heavy pants are already enough as long as the colors are not too vibrant and it's mostly (rough) linen / wool / leather / fur
the simplest outfit is probably a long (linen) tunic with leather belt and boots
honestly just write the organizers an email and ask about it
they'll most likely be very thrilled for new people and gladly help

They have a faq on their website.
Tl;dr you need to be part of a known club or organization that enforces setting standards, since it's a "strict" reenactment, and its important that everyone knows the rules for interaction.
