The entire event will take place at the Wisłoujście Fortress – a branch of the Gdańsk Museum, a unique fortification monument on a global scale, dating back to the 15th century. In 1628, the fortification served as a lighthouse, a control point for ships entering the Vistula River, a fleet base and, above all, an external garrison for Gdańsk’s city troops.
As in previous years, we are planning skirmishes and military exercises, educational and craft stands, market stalls and additional activities in a separate programme for historical reenactors.
Communication group:
We run an information group on Facebook for historical reenactors: Wisłoujście 1628 / Gdańsk / Reenactors, Friends & Support
Arrival
Please allow yourself plenty of time for arrival and departure, as it is best to arrive no later than Thursday evening (2 July) and leave no earlier than Sunday (5 July) after 4 p.m. In the meantime, traffic restrictions will be in place inside the fortifications during the event. Arrival on Friday will only be possible in the evening. On Sunday, in order to reduce packing time, you can have all your belongings packed and stored in your tent from the morning, so that after 4 p.m. you only need to fold up your tent, pack your car and hit the road.
As always, our shower containers will be available throughout the week, i.e. from Tuesday (30 June) to the following Tuesday (7 July). We encourage you to arrive early and take advantage of the opportunity to visit our beautiful city.

7. It is possible to finance educational and craft stations running their programme for three days during the event, during the facility’s opening hours (please note that an axe stuck in a tree stump is not an educational station for the profession of executioner). This is subject to individual arrangements with the organiser, and for this purpose, please send your offer to: m.flis@muzeumgdansk.pl
