We started holding the Medieval Festivals when the kids were studying
Comparative Civilizations in High School. They brought their classes here for 'educational'
fieldtrips. We did demonstrations of various activities and had a banquet. The possibility
of hands-on crafts and experiences as well as the chance to eat ‘medieval style’ was a
real hit with the students. One vegetarian asked all her table-mates for their bones so she
could have the pleasure of throwing them on the floor.
The first banquets were held in an
unfinished basement room and were a tight fit for forty or more people.
