The medieval festival of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne (Gironde) was brought forward to May 15; it will close a whole week focused on the theme of the Middle Ages in schools, leisure centers and media libraries.
All municipal structures are involved as well as the Region since the college will also have its medieval day the day before.
A massive participation of the inhabitants is expected, all in costume. This collective action is part of the “country of art and history” label requested by the territory with Sauveterre as the pilot city.
Programme
From 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., many activities will punctuate the day for young and old alike. Three ‘fantastic’ wanderings on stilts (Cie Labora Ognya). Three fiery musical wanderings (Cie Al Cantara). Two medieval-burlesque street performances and an ambulatory crazy party (Cie les Compagnons de l’Aurore)
The media library will be exceptionally open. At 2 p.m., it will offer a workshop for creating a medieval board game (free, from 6 years old)
Will also be available: wooden games for all, make-up and ephemeral tattoos, reading of tales, introduction to sword and shield fights and demonstration of birds of prey.
A craft and medieval market will be held on the square.
The craftsmen’s house will take part in the event and will offer demonstrations of weaving, wheel spinning, woodturning, calabash work, clay work and plant distillation, as well as a painting exhibition.
The association of friends of the Bastide will organize, with the tourist office, two guided tours at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. At the church: concert by Cie Al Cantara at 3 p.m.
