Medieval Costuming - Abbey Medieval Festival

We have provided some suggestions especially for those of our festival visitors who would like to get more involved and transform their Abbey Medieval Festival experience by wearing costume.

In 2017, we are holding a costume competition for the Public to enter!

If you are hoping to take your involvement to the next level and join a re-enactment group, please contact those potential groups directly as they each have their own requirements and restrictions when it comes to costuming and accessories.

We have also listed some of the costume hire places where you can start your costume adventures – however, they can’t really compare to a bespoke medieval masterpiece for your wardrobe!

Thinking about wearing a sword with your costume? You will need to complete a weapons permit here!
