Medieval Village lives its fun, efficient village life!
Come, there will be fun activities and things to see for everyone!
On Saturday, July 8, the party will continue in greenery, i.e. in the village of Niguliste artisans, a medieval-style party will take place. When the sun begins to sink lower around 6 p.m., musicians from the band Tabulatura, who came from far away Hungary, will start playing and Mystika dancers and southern drummer Chronis Taxidis will teach the celebrants a more exotic dance. Braver revellers can challenge the knights and swordsmen. Children have fun with wooden swords and gallop on wooden horses. Games and competitions, fun and entertainment until the ninth hour of the evening.
Olde Hansa’s Tavern lady offers hearty lentils and a simpler quencher for the stomach.
Organisers: Estonian Folk Art and Craft Union and Hopner House
