Christmas guided tour of the Old Town: “Party like a Blackhead!”
Colours, music, dancing and fun: all of that goes together with a real medieval celebration!
The Brotherhood of Blackheads, a fellowship of young unmarried merchants, was famous for its magnificent Christmas feasts, where beer was measured by the barrel, expensive wine reached only the tables of the chosen few, and song and dance went on until the sun peeped over the Old Town roofs.
This guided tour takes you along the Blackheads’ Christmas trail through the beautifully lit Old Town. Be ready to hear stories about the life of the Blackheads and, if you like, you can twirl your feet, beat a drum or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere around you.
At the end of the tour we offer a warming non-alcoholic drink indoors in the museum and a chance to try medieval board games.
Step into the heart of history and take part in the timelessness of a Blackheads’ Christmas!
Tour length: about 1.5 hours.
