Das Mittelalterfestival in Horsens (Dänemark) findet immer am letzten Freitag und Samstag im August in der Innenstadt statt.

Each year during the last weekend in August, the streets of Horsens are filled with sounds of cheerful buskers, snaps from crossbows, and merry medieval music, when the European Medieval Festival conquers the streets along with its 100.000 visitors from around the world.

At the market the blacksmith is standing in a shower of sparks while hardening the edge of his new sword. The swordsman is polishing his armor, getting ready for the upcoming battle. Meanwhile, the cobbler is stitching up a pair of shoes and the dressmaker is putting the finishing touches on a beautiful dress for a noble lady.

A feast is set with sumptuous dishes, and the food stalls tempt the hungry with smoked haunch of venison, steamed clams, sourdough bread and apple pie served on cabbage leaves. Thirst is quenched in beer and seasonal fruit juice.

When darkness falls, the watchman lights hundreds of torches, and a pleasant light spreads, in stalls and streets, from candles and bonfires. 5000 professionals and volunteers, dressed in medieval outfits, make the experience of being in the Middle Ages feel real.

The European Medieval Festival will be held in the center of Horsens.

Opening hours are: Friday the 24th, from 4pm to 11pm, Saturday the 25th from 10am to 11pm.

Entry to the festival is free of charge.
