Notes on the Welser-Feast

You „ladyes and fellows“ wish to know what awaits you this evening in Welser-Kuche? Then we shall tell you.

Even in the Middle Ages, the townspeople and yeomen know how to behave well and worthily, as befitted them. As you shall take the good fare in your fingers, the first to do before the feast is wash your hands well.

The man-servants and maids await you with linen cloths and you are greeted with a smile and a sup of mead in a cattle-horn. During the feast, you’ll find out much more about life, eating and drinking in the Middle Ages.

For your amusement and pleasure music and plays will be arranged.

The maids and man-servants will remind you of befitting behaviour during the meal otherwise you shall be bound on hands and neck in the stocks.

The night-watchman winds up the evening and tells you what hour has struck in our forefathers' tradition.

Gladly we reveal what there is to feast upon.
