About
Knights and medieval craftspeople take over Muiderslot, the moated castle in Muiden, for the weekend. Kids watch weaving, bookbinding and chain mail making up close, learn the trade from a rope maker, and catch knight shows and a fire breather. A troubadour wanders the grounds with a cart of old instruments and a basket of small ones for kids to play. Coming dressed as a knight or princess is encouraged.
