The Middle Ages under the walls

The town of Tyrna comes alive for the weekend and invites you to enter the Middle Ages

During the traditional fair, medieval robes will be laid out, crows will rustle, and the scent of traditional cuisine will guide you to the Bernolák park. When you smell it, it means only one thing: the Middle Ages begins under the walls. This popular event has been an inseparable twin of the Trnava Fair for 11 years. It is a more intimate event, where the hands of the clock turn more slowly, where candlemakers, glassmakers, leather workers and scribes demonstrate their craft with stoic calm, while behind them arrows whiz or catapults shoot.

The town of Tyrna will open its doors on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m

It would be hard to find Tyrna on the current map. However, the fame of the town has been alive for hundreds of years. Come for one day a year to smell, touch and experience its true period atmosphere. Thanks to the enthusiasts from the Hector agency, the history will take on realistic contours for a few hours.

What you put into the town will come back to you twice", it is written in old Tyrnian documents.
