Stiftelsen Medeltidsveckan (The Medieval Week Foundation)
Medieval Week is fully owned by the Medieval Week Foundation on Gotland, a non-profit research foundation with an educational mission. Medieval Week is a coordinating festival, and every year tens of thousands of tickets are sold on behalf of the co-creators, who set their own ticket prices. Medieval Week charges an administrative fee per ticket sold, which helps cover parts of the costs for building stages, renting ruins, stage technology, audience management, and more for the programme events.
