Living History Re-enactments, Demonstrations and
Hands on Activities for all the Family
June 2011

Visit the medieval camp and find out what the ladies are making for their medieval midday meal. Working hard over the fire, they recreate menus from the Middle Ages such as 'Urchins', 'Frumenteye' and 'Perre'. Join the encampment and learn about other daily crafts and tasks in the Medieval period.

You might also be lucky enough to feel the weight of plate armour, try on a helmet and then be amazed and appalled at the savagery of medieval warfare! Men-at-Arms will talk about their armour and put it to the test as they clash in bouts of head-to-head combat. You will see for yourself the amazing power of the English Warbow at archery practice and hear gruesome tales of the war against the French.

Arming a Knight - 12.00 pm & 3.00 pm
'Archery Through the Ages with a focus on the 100 Year War' - 2.00 pm

A host of working horses from the Hertfordshire Heavy Horse Association visit the Museum today to demonstrate the essential role of heavy horses in the traditional rural landscape.

Meet the Shires, Clydesdales, Suffolk Punches and other heavy horse breeds at this spectacular show. These beautiful horses will be shown at their best in the arena events and they will also demonstrate some of their traditional farm work from pulling wagons and ploughs to cutting our hay around the site.
