ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The smell of bonfires and food spreads around St. Bendts Kirke, when we finally and for the eighth time hold the Ringsted Medieval Festival in 2024!
It will be a blast of a festival, and the square will be teeming with clowns, knights, musicians and traders, and in the many stalls you can find all kinds of delicacies.
Look forward to fantastic fire shows, music and theater and let the children play in the family area.
All the performers live in the camp by the square, and you are welcome to take a look inside.
Ringsted Middelalderfestival is a historical festival which is held in Klosterlunden in Ringsted city centre. The festival was first held in 2009 and has only grown bigger since then. The last festival was held in 2022, where around 15.000 happy guests passed by.
The festival is a collaboration between Museum Vestsjælland, Ringsted Municipality, clergy group and parish council at Sct. Bendts Church, local associations, local business, local volunteers and charities and the local press.

At the festival, there are several activities for children - you will find them all in the large family area, which we call Valdemar's Workshop! Here you can, for example:
- have a pillow fight against each other on the balance beam
- make your own sword

- make medieval purses
- paint your own shield
