This Year at Polish Aviation Day – We Travel Back in Time by… 1,000 Years!

To mark the occasion, a medieval village from the times of King Bolesław Chrobry will be set up on the Museum grounds. Visitors will be able to travel back a thousand years and experience life in a medieval encampment.

Medieval village attractions:

• Knight encampment – tents and shelters with full equipment, presenting daily life from centuries ago.
• Medieval armoury – the opportunity to view, try on and photograph yourself in helmets, armour elements and with period weapons.
• Medieval wardrobe – ladies’ and men’s costumes, headwear and adornments available to try on.
• Ancient crafts workshops – items made by hand can be taken home as souvenirs.

Shows and tournaments:

• Safe sport sword fighting tournament – in categories for children, youth and adults.
• Chain mail throwing tournament – open to re-enactors and the public.
• Equestrian displays – four knights in full armour will demonstrate their skills in competitions with lances, swords and spears, accompanied by ladies and pages.

The combination of aviation tradition with historical re-enactment from a thousand years ago will make this year’s Polish Aviation Day an event of a unique character, connecting a passion for the past with a fascination with the present.

We warmly invite all families to celebrate together in this exceptional, attraction-filled atmosphere.
