medieval market
Old town square
A medieval market is a modern fair or festival recreating the atmosphere of commerce in the Middle Ages, with vendors in period costume selling crafts, food, and curiosities.
The term also refers historically to the actual trading centers of medieval towns, where merchants gathered on designated days to sell goods.
We spent Saturday at the medieval market buying handmade candles and watching jousting demonstrations.
