Become a Market Host during Medieval Week 2026
Do you want to be part of creating the world's best Middle Ages?
The Medieval Week on Gotland is the largest historical festival and folk-educational event in the Nordic region, with tens of thousands of history-interested visitors every year. This year's festival takes place from August 2-9 and has the theme of love. Medieval Week volunteers are needed everywhere and we have room for everyone, from happy amateurs to professionals - the most important thing is that you want and can participate!
As a Market Host, you make sure to welcome all visitors to the festival area - that is, the medieval market and the arena area. You check festival tapes and answer questions from visitors, as a market host you are often visitors' first contact with the festival.
The Medieval Week offers a fantastic community with camping, activities and a base camp exclusively for volunteers. Here we serve coffee, offer a quiet moment under cozy tents and socialize around the campfire.
