Now picture this…swordsmen getting ready with their armor and sword for the tournament, the cobbler making a pair of shoes while the dressmaker is creating a lovely dress for a noble lady.

Then there are food stalls providing a range of sumptuous dishes such as steamed clams, smoked venison, sourdough bread and apple pie to name a few as well as drinks like fruit juice and beer.

At night, torches, candles and bonfires are lighted in the stalls and streets with thousands and professionals in their medieval outfits everywhere thereby creating a real scenario of the Middle Ages. How cool is that? It’s like being brought back to the past in the present time. Now that’s an experience worth remembering.
