Now, years later, they run an all-out medieval encampment, offering a variety of deluxe experiences, where guests can travel back in time, stay in authentic tents, and participate in events, feasts and duels. They also hold weddings, which is wild.

So, add this one to the bucket-list of curious things to do in Alberta!
