Intro

When the shadows lengthen, Halloween in the Middle Ages awakens: fire, fights, magical music, mysterious figures, market, mead and tests of courage for young and old - dare to step into the dark!

Yippee Halloween! Hurry up, because for the first time Turnei is organizing a big party in the middle of the city of Zurich. On the Hardturm wasteland, where a new "sports castle" is to be built one day, a different world takes over for a few days.

For a short time, a gloomy market full of torches, fog and mysterious figures will be set up where there is still open land today. Witches, wizards, fantasy creatures and dark creatures populate the grounds and make the Halloween Fantasy and Medieval Spectacle Zurich a special experience.

Spooky figures and colorful walk acts

You will encounter numerous figures from dark worlds on the grounds. Narrenkai, the king of fools, plays tricks on the people. The minstrel of Hilfikon sings the praises of youth and love, while the dragons of RaptoRex and the zombies of Zombiewalk Basel provide horror, amazement and many a cold sweat.

Amusement for children and families

There is also plenty on offer for children. They can take a spin on the hand-operated children's carousel, while Babajaga the witch invites them to join in in the play and craft tent. In the tent of Fortuna at play, you are invited to play a game of chance, where many a person has already been able to fill their money pot. Magician Cardamon enchants the audience with his tricks, and Professor Knallkopf demonstrates his steaming, whistling and bubbling miracle machines. But don't get too close - sometimes the steam machines explode. You can create your own souvenir in the gemstone room: Either cut a stone into sandstone or make a Halloween pumpkin to take home. If you want to prove your courage and skill, try René and his ship fitness test. This game pits man against man or maid against maid, and the aim is to win with tactics and skill.

Market, food and drink

At the market, traders offer mysterious goods for sale - from strange pieces of jewelry to magical artefacts and all kinds of curiosities. Of course, there is also plenty of hearty food, hot dishes, sweet mead and other mysterious drinks to ensure that no one goes hungry or thirsty.

The Turnei stage and big concerts

Right in the middle of the action is the Turnei stage - the stage of the medieval and fantasy world. None other than Corvus Corax, one of the oldest and most famous medieval bands in Europe, will make this stage shake. With a normal event ticket, you can experience a huge load of stomping medieval rock on Friday and Saturday - so that you can dance and party deep into the night. The Spieldyvel will also do the honors on Halloween and provide further musical highlights.

Come in, you night creatures, witches, wizards, dragons and Halloween enthusiasts!

The Halloween Fantasy and Medieval Spectacle Zurich on the Hardturmbrache combines music, magic, horror and medieval market hustle and bustle to create a festival that you won't soon forget.
