At the entrance
It took place around an old farm transformed into a restaurant
The first "middle agers"
At the first glance I thought I was in an Indian village
But there also was a church and some typical medieval tents
reading sewing instructions
young proud parents
a blacksmith
a hungry girl selling little strange figures and trolls
Music
what a huge bread !
some middle age soup cooking
darts and other games
Knight outfits
good food
Learning archery
and food again
looked like a scaring church
where a pig was roasted on a graveyard (I think I will become vegetarian)
and other pieces of meat
You could eat it with this very yummy looking bread
Before I left I watched a sword fight, which was quite noisy !
It is great how people make history come alive and be interesting. great photos of all the activities.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun visit! When was that? That bread looks delicious, and I would not have minded trying some of that pig either! I'm not sure what you mean by roasted on a graveyard though?
ReplyDeleteThe festival looks like great fun, and the food amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! We have a Medieval Festival here in Tennessee that I've never gone to. Perhaps next time we'll go.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in college in Arizona they had a yearly Renaissance Festival that we would go to. I loved it. So fun. It would be great living in that time period...you would get to have a wench :)
ReplyDeleteTHIS looked like SO much fun! It reminds me greatly of our Celtic Festival - except with a lot more re-enactment ... there is some costumed people at the Celtic Festival - but mostly just the activities -- and of course, the costumes make it so much FUN! The sword fights are fabulous! I LOVE that! And those HUUUUUGE loaves of bread! My goodness! I'm certain I would have bought sOMething from the girl selling the little mushroom carvings... They are cuuuuuute!
ReplyDeleteI see Thom mentioned the Renaissance Festival -- we have one of those too - and YES - it is MUCH more like this! All costumes and acting! It's WONDERFUL! I'm hoping to go later this month!
Old traditionals must be very plesurely,best wishes
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina! Excellent post; and amazing pig picture... ;))
ReplyDeleteSorry for the long delay, but after one year work, I got my official week off and, as always, the week before was terrible and the return awful... ;). Furthermore, there was 09.09.09, which for me was a bit depressing, as I entered a Club 60 I would prefer to postpone the joining... ;))
Blogtrotter is now in Turkey. Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
