VoyleraLooking at armor behind glass is fine, but feeling the ground shake during a #jousting tournament in a small village is way better. These local #medieval events pull you right into the past with roasting meats and heavy wool cloaks. I mapped out a few lesser-known #historical gatherings across the continent.

Stepping into #PippingfordPark during the #MedievalFestival feels like the modern world just stopped existing. I spent the day wandering between #falconry displays and the #archery range, surrounded by people who take their #history seriously. The #jousting is intense, but the real charm is the #medieval tavern where stories flow as fast as the ale. A perfect way to spend a bank holiday weekend in #EastSussex.

~meoralis~#FotoVorschlag: Kirmes, Jahrmarkt // Funfair
Hab keine schönen Rummel-Bilder, darum hier das Kaiser-Otto-Fest in #Magdeburg, ein jährlich stattfindendes #Mittelalterfest. Wir waren 2022 mal dort und es regnete zwischendurch immer wieder heftig, was für total starkes Licht sorgte (das ich natürlich auf keinem Foto richtig eingefangen habe). Im Hintergrund sieht man noch ganz klein das Riesenrad der Magdeburger Herbstmesse auf der anderen Elbseite, es ist eines der ältesten Volksfeste Deutschlands (fand erstmals 1010 statt), wusste ich gar nicht. Ich war trotzdem noch nie dort. 🙈

I don't have good photos of a funfair, so here are two from the Kaiser Otto Fest (Emperor Otto Festival) in Magdeburg, an annual #medievalFair. When we attended in 2022, it was plagued by spells of heavy rain, though the light was spectacular at times. Naturally, none of my photos managed to capture that. In the background, you might spot the Ferris wheel of the Magdeburg Herbstmesse on the opposite bank of the Elbe river. It's one of Germany's oldest #Volksfest events (first recorded in 1010) – which I learned today, haha. I've never actually been. 🙈
