As this year’s International Medieval Congress comes to a close, immerse yourself in the Middle Ages with an exciting day of medieval-themed entertainment. Watch thrilling combat displays, get up close to birds of prey, and meet people demonstrating medieval crafts and techniques.
Thursday 06 July, University Square, 10.30-18.00. This event is free of charge and open to the public.
Every year the IMC runs a varied programme of events, excursions, performances, craft and professional development workshops, as well as film screenings and our public engagement day: Making Leeds Medieval.
Some events and activities are subject to an additional fee to cover costs associated with hosting the event. Tickets for these events can be purchased when you register online. Tickets for any events that have not sold out will be available from the Refectory Help Desk during the IMC. In some cases, a separate ticket purchase or booking is required and will be clearly indicated on the relevant event page. Free events do not require pre-booking, unless stated otherwise.
Some events can only accommodate a limited number of participants, so early booking is recommended. All events are offered on a first-come, first served basis and we are unable to operate waiting lists for fully-booked events. If you will not be able to attend an event you have booked, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to another delegate.
Every year the IMC runs a varied programme of events and activities for delegates and members of the public.
Yorkshire and the surrounding regions are home to a wealth of fascinating medieval sites and resources. IMC excursions will take you to secular and religious sites across the North of England.
This year’s concert and performance programme features outdoor dramatic performances, theatrical readings, storytelling, and live music from a diverse group of performers and sources. Check each event listing for information on tickets and locations.
Workshops give you the opportunity to try a new skill – and often to take home a handmade memento of your time in Leeds. This year’s programme includes a variety of medieval and medieval-inspired techniques, professional development sessions, and new ways to communicate medieval research.
