Medieval Weekend at the Château de La Roche-en-Ardenne
For one weekend, on July 25 and 26, the Feudal Castle of La Roche-en-Ardenne opens its doors to the Middle Ages for a spectacular immersion into history. Over two festive days, visitors of all ages can discover medieval life through a variety of activities, demonstrations, and performances.
On the program: historical encampments, armored combat, medieval fencing, juggling, magic, comedy, period music, traditional crafts, falconry, storytelling, and skits—not to mention the troubadours and minstrels who will bring the castle to life. Visitors will also be able to meet passionate artisans and discover medieval craftsmanship through the on-site artisan market and at Place Chanteraine.
New for this edition is a medieval village at Parc en Rompré, featuring hands-on workshops, educational exhibits, and craft demonstrations.
At 10 a.m. on both days, a parade of medieval groups through the streets of La Roche-en-Ardenne will round out this unique and festive experience.
The gates of our magnificent castle open at 11 a.m.
Combining history, entertainment, and discovery, the Medieval Weekend at the Château de La Roche-en-Ardenne promises a true journey back in time at one of the most beautiful historic sites in the Belgian Ardennes.
This Saturday starting at 7 p.m., the group ""Arduina"" will liven up our streets! Let the bagpipes, shawms, and percussion instruments ring out.
