The annual Iron Smelting Days are the largest gathering of its kind in Europe, with blacksmiths, artists and archaeologists gathering around a dozen or so iron smelting furnaces. It is a unique chance to learn a lot in very short time about the process of producing iron in the old days.

The Fonsado is the annual SIAH meeting where all attendees enjoy a long weekend of archery activities, workshops, conferences and archery fraternity.
The leitmotiv of the Fonsado 2024 organized by the Edetanos Company (Valencian Community) is “Sagitta Vitae, arrows for life”.
Again the Easter Bunny did hide a tremendous amount of Easter-Eggs within the grounds oft the open air-museum at Hitzacker (Elbe). If you can find one, you are welcome to take part in our tombola at 3 o’clock for big and small prices.
The goal of SIAH is to study and promote historical bows, their characteristics, and the appropriate techniques for their correct use in the Iberian Peninsula.
Additionally, our focus extends to the cultural aspects of these historical periods and backgrounds associated with each type of bow.
We believe it is crucial to bring visibility to historical archery. Hence, we decided to establish an association dedicated to the rigorous study of this practice—a space that consolidates knowledge for anyone seeking to initiate or delve deeper into historical archery.
Did people even have leisure time in the Middle Ages? Most people don't know it, but actually, they had MORE days off back then than we do today! In those days, people entertained themselves with games, sports, and play, many of which we still know today - although they were often a lot more violent than in our time.
