Excitement is mounting at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, in preparation for a unique weekend, which will see a spectacular medieval re-enactment, with Sir John Savile’s household.⚔️
Last year, the group was fully equipped with a living history camp, complete with medieval tents🎪. They demonstrated the everyday tasks of medieval life to visitors, such as chopping wood🪓, fetching water🪣, food preparation 🥘and often cooking meals on open fires🔥 to feed the camp, and this year the camp is set to be even bigger and better.
The sound of handgonne fire and the clash of armour🛡️ will be heard coming from the event field when the Household will demonstrate medieval warfare during The Wars of the Roses period.🗡️
From bill drills, period armour, have a go archery🏹, costumed mummers’ plays and even a bit of merry dancing, there’s certainly something for all the family, and all trainee warriors who want to try their hand in battle.⚔️
