What our visitors say…..

“I love interacting with the re-enactors and learning skills such as using a lucet, viking braiding etc, so more workshops can only be a good thing 🙂 Also watching the battles and just immersing myself in times past, dressing in costume of course adds to the fun! , I love Birds of Prey, any opportunity to have my pic taken holding one is fantastic So thank you to all the organisors, volunteers and re-enactors for another great Tournament experience. xoxoxo”

“I loved it so much I will force my future kids to go there. In addition i loved the jousts immensely that I think it would be a splendid idea that there should be monthly jousts.”

“I love the fact that such an effort is made to ensure a realistic medieval environment, volunteers are friendly & helpful & the absence of fast food is great”
