Delightful entertainment on multiple stages and throughout the streets is sure to keep you captivated. Jugglers, magicians, comedians, music and more fill the stages. Thrill as knights on horseback thunder toward each other, lances drawn. Learn the art of jousting from Her Majesty’s knights, from putting on armor to training exercises to actual combat. See how archery played a central part in Renaissance life, from food to sport to military defense.
The Archers of Staffordshire will demonstrate these skills and you can even have a lesson the long bow or participate in the daily archery contest.
Gaze upon Her Majesty’s greyhounds as they demonstrate their hunting prowess upon the tilt yard. Fill your ears and raise your glass to music and song in the village pub.
Feast on turkey legs, scotch eggs, fish and chips, crepes and more. Have your tankards filled with beer, wine, cider, mead and a variety of soft drinks. Eat drink and be merry!
