Kasteeltuinen Arcen Eastern Medieval weekend

As in the previous message was told, we were invited to display our 1507 demo at the new small medieval museum at the Arcen castle

.Reenactors arriving through the gate.

the entrance to the museum

Hands in the pocket; it was really cold, some 5 degrees and the doors need to stay open.

 As the lighting was not ready yet the pictures aren't of the best quality.

Our 1507 demo

Impressions of the museum

We hadn't any time to visit the medieval market, battles, demonstrations etc. We only saw the guns from the museum going to play their part in the reenactment battles

Followed by the powder

Kasteeltuinen-Eastermonday 2014

And some impressions of Monday.
It was a great weekend and probably it will be repeated each year (at least, that's the plan we heard).

In the forground left, the new building Peter made

Explaining the hobby and what was going on on the table.
Most people didn't know what wargaming was although some visitors knew people who play phantasy (warhammer?) stuff

But, as said before, we hadn't any time to take a look at the reenactment groups and take pictures which is a shame at it was great (or so we are told). Some pictures from other sites to show this.
