Medieval Festival Part 2, Evening

 

We were greeted by the Duke without heir and his musicians



Sword fighting


These two guys really liked it



I thought the colours of this tent really cheerful


More musicians


When we walked past them again, these guys switched to some sort of  halberd or whatever the heck it's called and kept going:




A girl band:)


and a beautiful sunset



Their bread smelled so nice, I had to buy one. They baked it right there on the spot:


Tasted great, too!


In the cellars senior citizens were getting drunk tasting wine

We left around 11p.m. but the party was still going on!

It was a great weekend.

    Thank you for the tours, Sanne! You know I do love the era :-) Were you dressed according to the event? I hope I can visit this kind of event some day!

    You are welcome, Miriam!
    we always went to Viking and Romans events before, but now we've discovered that this era is quite interesting, too. I'm afraid I don't have any period clothes, so I just wore a nice skirt:)

    I forgot something else about the castle history, there was also a woman accused of witchcraft who attempted suicide by jumping from the tower but she survived and was later burned...
