Medieval days
Three Sundays in May, and first weekend of June
Medieval Days at Bled Castle traditionally take place on the first weekend in June, 3-4. This year, the event is expanding already into May, when on the first Sunday, May 7, all brave, strong and fearless men are invited to try themselves in the medieval challenges with which knights once conquered territories and women's hearts.
Next Sunday, May 14th*, the event will be a bit more dedicated to the ladies, to exchange a thousand and one secrets that used to enchant knights and even drive them into war.
However, to prevent any frictions, we invite children on the last Sunday of May, 28 May. We are positive they will drive away too serious chivalry-ladies complications with their laughter so that they can all have a festive finale on 3-4 June.
*Due to the extremely poor weather forecast, the event from May 14 has been postponed to May 28.
May 7 is courage day
Lambergar's army will prepare 6 knightly challenges in the camp under the castle, where all fearless men will be able to prove their strength once and for all. The competition will take place from 12am to 4pm. Each participant will receive a scorecard upon arrival, and at the end the Lord and Lady of the castle will announce the winner. In addition to his eternal glory, he will also receive a reward.
On May 28 there will be no shortage of silliness and pampering for the ladies
Since we had to cancel the event on May 14th due to very bad weather, the event is joining the children's carnival on May 28th.
Count Lambergar enjoys hosting nobles and knights with retinues from near and far, but the conversations between them often become too serious and dull. This year, therefore, he gave the castle's court jester the task of summoning all the playful and mischievous children, especially those who know how to be happy and laugh VERY VERY loud. The children will therfore practice loud laughs, funny mimicry, confusing drawing and tense storytelling in the camp, between 12am and 4pm. Every child will be rewarded.
What are the elements that stimulate a lady's authentic, powerful, divine energy? Dear ladies, on this day you will be able to learn how to connect with your senses through macrame knitting, painting with henna, learning about crystals and various tinctures, and finally you will be able to see what fate predicts for you.
Medieval camp in the castle park: May 28th - June 4th
Sir Lambergar's army, camped in the clearing outside the castle, is getting ready, even when the people in the castle are busy having fun! During the day, knights perfect their skill of swordmanship, weapon throwing and archery.
When you visit the camp, you can pick up a card on which you record your knightly skills results.
The camp will be open for visit every day, from May 28 to June 4, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
On June 3 and 4 it really gets going
Everything is finally ready for a big celebration on the castle rock in the first nights of June. The castle opens its door to charming ladies and brave knights, organizes dances and sword fight demonstrations, and listens to the jokes and laughter of jesters. The market below the castle is alive with sounds, smells and activity. There, craftsmen demonstrate their skill, and traditional food and drinks are served to keep the visitors fed and happy. If music makes your feet want to dance, don't hold back - learn a few Medieval dance moves!
