Stiftelsen Medeltidsveckan på Gotland
Help us build Medieval Week on Gotland
Medieval Week on Gotland is Sweden's largest historical festival! This year's festival takes place from 2-9 August and has the theme of love. Now we are looking for volunteers to build this fantastic festival! During week 31, 27 July - 1 August, you will help prepare for and build the festival. Here we need help to transport, carry and build the entire medieval world. In less than a week we will transform beautiful Visby into a lively medieval world and we need your help.
Your work will consist of carrying, lifting and building the festival in different ways and you will definitely have fun while doing it. There will be market stalls, tents, jousting arenas, moving things, building fences and everything in between. You will also build the volunteer area and other things that we as volunteers will use ourselves and have fun with.
