Overview

Lucilinburhuc offers a wide range of living history activities that combine historical research, practical experimentation, and public engagement. Our work is adaptable to different contexts and audiences, from museum exhibitions and educational programmes to cultural festivals and family-oriented events.

Through historically informed reconstructions and interactive formats, we aim to present past cultures and practices in a way that is both accurate and approachable.

Living history in practice

Living history lies at the core of our activities. We recreate historical settings, techniques, and skills based on written sources, archaeological evidence, and practical experimentation. Rather than presenting history as something distant or static, we focus on lived experience, everyday practices, and the material culture of past societies.

Public interaction is an essential part of our work. Visitors are encouraged to ask questions, observe processes, and engage directly with the people, tools, and techniques presented.

Educational and cultural programmes

Lucilinburhuc develops programmes for a variety of educational and cultural contexts. Our formats can be adapted to different age groups and learning objectives.

Our activities are suitable for:

  • Museums and cultural institutions

  • Schools and educational projects

  • Cultural festivals and public events

  • Family- and child-oriented programmes

Depending on the context, we offer guided demonstrations, interactive workshops, and thematic presentations that encourage curiosity and active participation.

Historical crafts

Historical fencing

Traditional crafts play a central role in understanding historical societies. Through the practical reconstruction of techniques and tools, we explore how objects were made, used, and valued in the past.

Our craft demonstrations include, among others:

  • Textile production and weaving

  • Leatherworking

  • Historical cooking and food preparation

  • Everyday crafts and domestic activities

These practices are presented within their historical context, highlighting materials, techniques, and social significance.

Historical fencing forms another important part of our work. Based on historical fight books and written sources, we study and practice martial techniques from different periods.

Our approach combines:

  • Source-based interpretation

  • Physical practice and experimentation

  • Safe and controlled demonstrations

  • Contextual explanation for the public

Historical fencing is presented not only as a martial discipline, but also as a cultural practice closely linked to social status, education, and historical context.

Adaptability and collaboration

Lucilinburhuc works closely with partner institutions to develop formats tailored to specific projects, themes, and audiences. Whether as part of an exhibition, a school programme, or a cultural event, we aim to offer meaningful and well-integrated contributions.

Our activities can be adjusted in scope, scale, and focus, depending on the needs of the hosting institution or event.
