Festi'bois: a creative and festive re-opening

" Celebrate the excellence of the skills and creativity of wood craftsmen and enjoy medieval music, dance and juggling performances. "

Come and meet the many craftsmen and women involved in this weekend's reopening of a medieval castle and their work with wood.
You'll find turners, coopers, basket-makers, carpenters, cabinet-makers, markers and many other prodigies ready to share their unique skills with you.
The weekend's programme includes demonstrations, participatory workshops, collaborative work and more.
Themed tours (organised regularly throughout the day) will take you from the ramparts overlooking the surrounding forest, to a presentation of the various trades present, to the exhibition dedicated to archaeological objects found during excavations, and discover the transformation process from raw material to everyday wooden object.
Discover an exhibition of copies of ancient musical instruments made in whole or in part from wood, such as bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies, portable organs, lutes and nyckelharpa. Enjoy commentaries on medieval organology accompanied by music.
Finally, these days will be punctuated by festive highlights combining music, dance and juggling.
Don't miss this great opportunity to meet the craftsmen and women who work with wood, and do your bit to encourage the excellence of their skills and creativity.
