An exciting weekend in the heart of Kievan Rus!

A rich program, as well as delicious dishes from the fire, various locations and entertainment, museums and games with guests - all this and even more will make the weekend of all visitors really exciting!
This day will be the Princely Horseback Archery Tournament . Virtuoso athletes will come to the Principality from all over the country to compete in the accuracy of firing from a traditional (historical) bow on horseback at full gallop.
This is an incredibly difficult task for the participants of the competition, but at the same time, a gambling and exciting spectacle for the audience. Competitions of horse archers will be held in the main nomination and in the Exotica nomination, which involves the defeat of four targets in one race.
The competition between the participants will be fierce, because the winners of the tournament will have the opportunity to participate in the Open Championship of Ukraine in archery "Scythians", which will be held in Ancient Kiev on October 16-18, 2020.
Athletes and stunt actors will perform in tandem with unique horses of historical breeds collected from around the world in the Princely Stable. Some of these horses in Ukraine are nowhere to be seen, because they were brought to our country in a single copy.
As always, guests of the Principality will find a kaleidoscope of bright emotions from a trip to a real, vibrant medieval city. Here everyone can find something to their liking. Arrange a picnic in nature and taste Slavic dishes and drinks from the princely chefs to enjoy the full spring warmth with family and friends.
