Mick Delahunty Square will be transformed into a Medieval Village to acknowledge Clonmel as a Medieval Walled Town. Medieval Re-enactment group Déise Medieval will demonstrate what life was like for the founding inhabitants of Clonmel and Tipperary.

Traditional craft demonstrations will help visitors see how generations before us worked and played in their daily life and watch a series of medieval fight demonstrations. The School of Irish Archaeology will allow participants a hands-on opportunity to take part in an excavation of a medieval house and hear more about the objects they uncover.
