The Medieval Epic

CODE: SJ48

Work:

Immerse yourself in medieval adventure by working with the team of local volunteers: set up the installations, run the stands, cook and contribute to the success of the fair! This job combines technical skills, physical strength and organization. You'll help set up and dismantle stalls, tents, and barnums. You'll contribute to the signage, traffic plan and layout. Take care of general fair logistics, including cooking and cleaning. Run stands such as the bar, pancake stand and much more. Please note: during the first and last weeks, the work will be particularly physical, with heavy lifting and busy days. Take up the challenge and live this memorable medieval experience!

Accomodation and food

Your collective dormitory will be located in a municipal building. Food is provided and meals are prepared by volunteers in turn in a permanent kitchen. Lunchtime meals are taken with other festival volunteers. Bring your favorite recipes with you!

Location and leisure

Leisure time is organized collectively with the whole group. During the second week and weekends, you'll be busy with the fair. Discovering the region will therefore take place in the last week. You'll have the chance to take part in concerts, workshops, exhibitions and other events organized in conjunction with the fair!

Project hosted by

A time journey is waiting for you: help transform a village into a medieval fair! Now in its 30th year, the Souvigny Grand Site association organizes the medieval fair, which attracts over 30,000 visitors every year. For 9 days, the village is transformed into a lively spectacle of troubadours and acrobats. Amateur and professional troupes perform on stage. In this context, an international workcamp is set up to help create the event and share the traditions of French medieval culture. Explore various stands and themes: music, theater, juggling, fire artists, tightrope walkers, hawks and horses, craftsmen at work, living encampments, blacksmithing, cooking, tents, and much more. Join us as we bring the past to life and create unforgettable medieval memories!
