I am back from the medieval festival

Tweet

An hour ago I returned from the medieval festival. I had a really great time there. We arrived in the afternoon and we walked around and looked at the stalls where people sold clothes, jewelry, different things made from wood, food and drinks and many other things. Some of the medieval dresses were really beautiful and I would love to buy one of them, but they were far too expensive. At night they light the torches and the candles. I really enjoyed walking around in area after dark. It was a beautiful sight with all the torches and in combination with the sounds and smells and it created a special kind of atmosphere There were different kinds of craftsmen who showed us how they built things in the middle age for instance how they built thatched houses, it was interesting to see that. There were also some macabre things like gallows where dolls were supposed to illustrate people who had been executed. Many of the participants were dressed up as people from the middle age for instance beggars, musicians and knights. I didn't have the chance to watch the knight tournament, because it was already finished when we arrived. I wanted to buy some of the traditional food from that time, but I had to give up the idea, because it was impossible to get a seat anywhere. Next year I will arrive when the festival starts. The only bad thing about the festival was the number of people. It was a challenge to walk from place to place because the place was so crowded.
