Monday, July 20 – Sunday, July 26, 2026
Step into the Middle Ages as Spøttrup Castle once again opens its gates for the Bishop’s Market throughout week 30 (Monday–Saturday 10 AM–8 PM / Sunday 10 AM–6 PM). A full week of living history, atmosphere, and experiences awaits both children and adults – and in 2026, the market will be bigger than ever before!
This year’s market is part of the celebration of Skive’s 700th anniversary as a market town, and this can be felt throughout the entire area. Here, you will have the opportunity to experience and learn more about life in Skive and its surroundings 700 years ago and up until the end of the Middle Ages. There will be more activities, more life, and even more medieval atmosphere – with crafts, stalls, entertainment, performances, and culinary experiences in the food area.
Look forward to action and drama as the castle grounds fill with knights and warriors. During the week, you can experience both a knight tournament and a grand battle – an impressive reenactment of the Battle of Sankt Jørgens Berg, where the audience gets up close to medieval combat, tactics, and strength.
Come and enjoy an unforgettable experience at Spøttrup Castle – we look forward to welcoming you!
