SUMMARY:History Adventures! Dancing\, Knights and Sieges...
DESCRIPTION:Knights\, Castles and Music! 8th and 9th August\n \n  \nThe weekend’s events:\nAcross both days\, joins us and expert interactive history buffs History Adventures and Medieval musicians\, Merrie Noyse for a day of hands-on history. \nSir Stephen de Blennerhayset and Lady Eleanor are ready to take you on a journey to the high life of the Middle Ages.\nThree shows across the day\, will immerse participants and spectators into the world of the Medieval Great Hall. Learn how to become a knight with sword-in-hand in Knight School\, step to the 14th century beat with our Medieval Dance show\, and learn how castles work whilst building (and destroying) them in Castle Siege. \n  \nThe Shows: morning\, lunchtime and afternoon.\nKnight School – 30 mins \nLearn about what it takes to be a Knight\, both on and off the battlefield. See if you can follow instructions as you discover how a child went through the process to become a Knight. If you perform well\, and show proficiency with a sword\, then you might be granted the greatest honour most could hope for in the Medieval world and be granted your very own Knighthood! \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMedieval Dance – 30 mins \nKnights wouldn’t always be at battle. Sometimes they liked to throw massive feasts and banquets to impress their peers\, and what better way to impress them than by showing them how good you are on the dance floor! Learn real medieval dances and party like it’s 1369! \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCastle Siege – 45 mins \nBuild a castle\, learning how they are constructed in the process\, what is called what\, and some of the ingenious ideas used to defend the fortresses of the Medieval world. Building the castle\, however\, is only half the fun. Once it is finished\, learn about some of the ways that you can attack a castle before besieging it with catapults. \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nLawn Games All Day\nFor many visitors it is the games that we provide that are the highlight. Our games are all Medieval games that transport players back in time. We fill our Games Arena with many different games\, that are relevant to the period\, that visitors can play at their leisure and return as much as they want. \nOur Games Arena gives visitors something to enjoy from the moment the gates open to the end of the day. Some games are simple\, others have more intricate rules\, and this spread means that there is something for all. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWandering Troubadours\nMerrie Noyse will add the soundtrack to the day\, wandering throughout the Gardens with their Medieval instruments\, bringing the sounds of the Middle Ages to these Baroque gardens. Won’t their music sound fabulous in the Music Room? \n \n  \nFees: entry fees apply\, £6 for adults and £5 for concessions (over 65s or full-time students)\, and under 16s are free! The Knights and Dragon Trail will be £1 for under 16s.
