The International Festival of Historical Reconstruction of the Early Middle Ages "Rusborg"
The International festival of historical reconstruction of the early Middle Ages "Rusborg" will take place from 7 to 11 May, 2014.
"The Guest Day" is May 10. At the venue the marching camp of Slav, Scandinavians and nomadic tribes will be set up.
This year, apart for traditional "fighting activities", master classes on crafts, sports and other competitions, the fleet will be provided, too. The new venue allows to use the replica of the vessels from the early Middle Ages that were previously exhibited only at the festival “Ladeynoye pole” (“The shallop field”).
In 2013, the event was attended by approximately 900 participants (the representatives of the clubs from dozens of regions of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia) and more than 8000 spectators.
Spectators may participate in craft fair, test themselves in archery and javelin-throwing. One may try the heaviness of arms and armour of medieval warriors, too, in case of wish.
