Knights and Castles
Join Sir Stephen de Blenerhayset and Lady Eleanor as they show you all of the good bits of the “high life” of the Middle Ages!
Stephen loves to swing his sword around and is always looking for budding new squires to join his retinue.
While Stephen is galloping around in search of adventure Eleanor is the real one in charge! She keeps the castle going and if anyone wants anything done they make sure to request an audience with Eleanor!
When she’s not solving quandaries and quarrels, Eleanor loves to spend time in the garden and practice making medicines and potions.
The Shows
As well as visitor engagement and games, as part of our Knights and Castles event days we provide several 30 minute shows throughout each day. Each show takes the audience through the story of the life of the Knight and are designed to get the audience involved and feel like they are part of the story.
Some of the shows might include:
Learn 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!
Knights 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!
Build 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.

The Games
For 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.
Our 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.
