“Let’s play with fire” equestrian show

Immerse yourself in daily life in the Middle Ages
All weekend, the companies took possession of the castle and its ditches and set up their camps there. Crafting, cooking, archery, or squire training...: enthusiasts of the Middle Ages will help you discover the activities that marked the daily lives of our ancestors.
Have fun with your family!
Ardently defend the Château de Falaise and the medieval city by learning how to shoot a crossbow, by confronting the enemy during a memorable sword fight (in foam), or by trying to chivalry through an initiatory journey !
Are you more into celebrating than fighting? So much the better, we also knew how to entertain ourselves in the Middle Ages! Make your medieval headdress, learn to juggle ou dance to the rhythm of medieval music.
Stroll through the large medieval market!
This year again, many stalls will fill the aisles of the traditional medieval and craft market.
Beverages, cutlery, jewelry, leather goods, pastries, sweets, toys, decorative objects... More than a hundred artisans and creators will occupy William the Conqueror Square and its surroundings to present their products and know-how to you.
And as is now tradition, stalls inspired by the fantastical universe will complete the market's already substantial offering! Keep your eyes wide open: you might come across strange creatures.
