Glencairn Museum’s Medieval Festival presents the arts and culture of the Middle Ages uniquely interpreted by skilled professionals renowned for their knowledge and craftsmanship. Visitors also have a rare opportunity to freely tour its galleries, walk through some family living spaces and ride the elevator to the tower for its inspiring views—all for the festival’s budget-friendly admission price.
Two new activities for all ages:
• Viking Selfie Station. Accessorize from items in the Museum’s prop box and pose for a selfie with students dressed as these Norse explorers, merchants, warriors or pirates from the Middle Ages.
• Rune Writing. Learn about rune writing and try your hand at making your own rune.
