Where to Go This Weekend

Another place worth visiting this weekend is Ancient Kyiv – Kyivan Rus Park

On 22 and 23 May, Ancient Kyiv * will host a grand all-Ukrainian event, “Call of the Heroes”!

It is Ukraine’s largest and most popular annual medieval combat championship, with hundreds of fighters taking part. Among them are members of Ukraine’s national medieval combat team, who have repeatedly won prizes at the world championship in this sport. These are not staged fights, everything here is for real!
⚔️ Brave knights in heavy armour, their battle swords and axes, multicoloured banners and shields with coats of arms, and above all courage and skill in duels and mass battles – an unforgettable spectacle that guests of the Principality of Kyivan Rus will see.

Plunge into the times of brave knights, where honour and glory are won with sword and shield!
More than 300 of the best fighters from different corners of Ukraine will take the field and hold full-contact fights in full knightly armour.
