Medieval reenactment is a hobby where participants recreate aspects of life during the Middle Ages, typically from the 5th to the late 15th century. Enthusiasts often dress in period-appropriate clothing, use historical weapons, and engage in activities like jousting, archery, and crafting. These events aim to educate the public about medieval culture and history. Reenactments can take place at various locations, including castles, parks, and festivals. Participants may belong to groups that focus on specific regions or time periods, such as the Crusades or Viking era. These gatherings often feature demonstrations, battles, and workshops to immerse attendees in the medieval experience.
