We used to have little period events. 

I remember one in particular, Your Grace, that Duke Lloyd and Duchess Joselyn 
did with a Crusader theme.  Wonderful time, no courts, just a beautifully 
decorated small hall, with good period food, and lots of persona play, gaming, 
and bardic.  It even made money -- I helped with gate and cleanup. Great Fun!
 
I've often thought about doing a private event along the same lines, with a 
real period Middle Eastern feast, served on low tables to people sitting on 
cushions on the floor.  With dancing (in good costuming, not belly dancing 
stuff), music, bardic, persona play, NO computers, NO talk of the modern world, and 
trying to keep the mundanity to an absolute minimum.  But the times I've 
brought it up, I've been shot down so hard that I stopped thinking about it.  And 
now, I can't afford to do it privately, so it is a lost cause.  But, DARN it, 
it would be fun to do!
