Merchants welcome
Inspire, surprise and do business
The Medieval Festival is a magical, unique and comprehensive historical entity, where merchants reach as many potential buyers as possible. We have more than 25 years of tradition as a history-themed market event.
Festival visitors love history and want to get to know the products and make purchases. Last year, several merchants ran out of products. Here you can present your products, surprise and inspire – and do business.
Are you interested in selling your wares? Feel free to contact us in the market team and send your carrier pigeon on its way to [email protected] or call +358 40 355 8558.

Come join the most important medieval event of the year. Register as a merchant and secure your sales at the medieval festival. We’ll help you to be as successful as possible.
Merchants are listed in order of registration.
At the festival, the medieval theme is everywhere from clothing and product presentation to the tents and stalls. And of course the shopkeepers also dress according to the theme.
In addition to medieval and viking-themed merchants, we have a craftsman’s area and the Pakanametsä area, where exceptions to the medieval theme are allowed.
Products
All products sold at the medieval festival must be suitable for the spirit of the Middle Ages, such as handicrafts, art, natural products, products made from natural raw materials and foodstuffs.
The organizer has the right to not accept traders who do not fit the spirit of the event and the right to limit the number of traders and products if they are in conflict with the terms of participation.
Plastic was not known in the Middle Ages, so it is not appropriate to sell plastic products in the spirit of the festival. However, this ban does not apply to food in its original packaging. For packaging, we recommend using, for example, paper bags or cardboard.
Services for merchants
We want to take good care of our traders by offering services alongside lively trading.
As the organizer of the festival, we have a large costume shop, where you can find outfits for rent for the entire weekend.
Shopkeepers have the opportunity to buy breakfasts, takeout lunches or sauna service in advance.
