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.
