Medieval Fayre

About

Come and meet a host of re-enactors who will bring traditional crafts and skills to life with talks and demonstrations including spinning, woodworking and calligraphy. Meet a barber surgeon and a Knight at Arms and enjoy live Medieval music and dance and intervals throughout the day.

Discover more about medieval crime and punishment or learn about childhood toys and games, then meet the beautiful owls and birds of prey from Kent Owl Academy, before undertaking some Battle Tactics!

There will be stallholders selling Medieval themed clothing and jewellery, and carved wooden items, as well as a chance to have a go at the traditional craft of wheat weaving.
