Our re-enacting activities had many aspects varying with the site, the public and the themes of the festival. Each was in near relation with the others and was meant for the joining in of the public. We aimed to entertain, educate and inform visitors whilst having fun. The researches and the skills of the group has led to the creation of more types of activities.

Hand-to-hand combat demonstrations. The performance of medieval combat techniques with swords and other weapons: halberds, bills, spears, etc. We showed a regular soldier training, pikemen drill, skirmish of two groups with halberd and swords, duels and many more... |
| Battles. In larger scale events such as battles and sieges we illustrated the spectacle of medieval warfare using archers, soldiers, artillery and much more to bring conflicts to life. We laid great stress on all manner of tactics, unit movements and cooperation of the fighters. Together with our sister-societies and other combatants we provided a realy great entertaining spectacle for onlookers |
