Knight's Festival in Thale: Medieval fun for the whole family!
October has a lot to offer in Lower Saxony! From October 3rd to 5th, 2025, the spa park in Thale will be the setting for a spectacular knights' festival that will captivate young and old alike. The program not only includes knight tournaments and historical music, but also lots of entertainment from jugglers and acrobats. How Antenna Lower Saxony reports, the event organizers have put together a varied program that is guaranteed to ensure that there is no chance of boredom.
The knights' festival starts daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and offers a real fireworks display of attractions. Included are, among other things, historical music from “Ohrenpeyn” and breathtaking shows from “Opus Furore”. The “Midgards Feuerbund” will delight spectators with skillful knight fights, while the little guests have fun on the hand-operated carousel or crossbow shooting in the Trollewald. If you like, you can also take a look at the medieval market, which offers crafts and delicious food.
