Festival of Forgotten Crafts
The Festival of Forgotten Crafts offers a unique medieval experience for young and old alike! Be enchanted by the atmosphere of a bustling medieval marketplace and authentic medieval processes and material processing techniques. You can look forward not only to period crafts, but also to specialities from the kitchen, popular attractions, howler shows, rich historical camps and a farmstead with farm animals.
This year’s novelty at Červený Kameň Castle (Red Rock Castle) is the historical zone enriched with lectures by Slovak and Czech historians and archaeologists, who will introduce you to the history of our ancestors in an engaging way.
Hop on a donkey and enjoy a rich all-day programme.

MEDIEVAL CRAFTS
Have you ever seen a medieval manufacturing process where a piece of wood is transformed into a wooden bowl, roughly worked leather becomes a beautifully decorated leather satchel, melted beeswax is used to make a functional candle, or a lump of clay is turned into a ceramic jug? That they haven’t seen? And that’s just a fraction of what you’ll have the opportunity to see at the Festival of Forgotten Crafts.
MEDIEVAL ATTRACTIONS
Do you like to overcome new challenges and try new things? Come test your mettle and get involved in medieval life with all that goes with it! For young and old alike, we have prepared the opportunity to try archery led by professional archers, javelin throwing or target throwing with small axes.
DAY CAMPS
Come and experience the Middle Ages with us! This opportunity offers you a glimpse directly into the period camps of individual historical groups. Medieval people present original medieval costumes or all kinds of equipment and utensils necessary for everyday life or the way of life in the Middle Ages.
MEDIEVAL PASTIMES
The opportunity to put yourself in the shoes of a medieval person will give you the chance to experience how difficult but also beautiful life was in the Middle Ages. Are you interested in how and with what ingredients was cooking in the Middle Ages? How and what did medieval people dress in? Or do you long for battle and would you like to join in the preparations for battle and the conquest of medieval castle fortifications?
