A warm welcome to Kaukjärvi village to explore a new hobby! 

The Kaukjärvi village event is a low-threshold medieval event, where we live the dream of the Middle Ages together through crafts, learning and community. More experienced enthusiasts will guide you through the medieval hobby in a relaxed, open atmosphere. You do not need any prior knowledge – just come as you are. If you wish, you can dress in medieval or medieval-style clothing, but it is not mandatory. The event will also have a small canteen, where medieval flavors are available. The incomes from the canteen will cover the costs of catering and the costs of the event. You can also bring your own medieval-style cutleries. However, the house also has cutleries available for loan.

You can try out different skills and hobbies that we are doing in the medieval re-enacting events:

The purpose of the event is to provide a low-threshold event for people interested in re-enacting the Middle Ages. In this event people can try out different aspects of the hobby and get to know each other without a long preparation time and without any prerequisites. Experienced medieval enthusiasts are also welcome to join in to talk about the hobby and inspire new people to take up the hobby. The event is organized by members of the Finnish Medieval Society and Hukka ry. The event will also officially establish the Kaukjärvi village, which will in the future regularly host meetings for medieval enthusiasts in Järvenpää.
