Medieval Life
Meet Nichodemus and Ursula. Nichodemus is a physician, and it is to him that people turn to if they are sick. Unlike with other medical trades, as a physician, Nichodemus studies, and it is this study that has given him a bug for travel and for learning.
The Medieval world is full of stories, legends, myths and monsters and Nichodemus will happily tell you about some of the strange things that he has seen (or heard of) and some of the interesting people that he has met.
It's his wife, Ursula, that does most of the work though, and it is this work that will take your guests on a journey to the medieval world of the supernatural.
In the early days of science, all is not as it seems to be. Welcome to a time where science, medicine, religion and magic all blend in to one.
It may be a cure that you need, or possibly protection. Learn different skills and ways to apply magic, how to cure yourself, and how to protect yourself from sinister forces.
From the ingenious to the downright bonkers, you may think twice before you ask for a doctor!
The Shows
As well as visitor engagement and games, as part of our Medieval Life event days we provide several 30 minute shows throughout each day. Each show covers something different about social history, technology and innovation in the Middle-Ages and is designed to get the audience involved and feel like they are part of the story.
Some of the shows might include:
Just who, and what, is a sheriff? We’ve heard about them from medieval legends, such as Robin Hood, but what did they actually do, and why were sticks were so vital to the medieval economy. Find out just how intricate the world of Medieval money was and how the King made sure he always got his share.
Even though magic was frowned upon in the Middle Ages stories of King Arthur, his Knights Merlin the wizard, magical swords, powerful witches and mystical adventures, captured the hearts and minds of Knights, squires and Kings. Hear one of the Medieval stories of Camelot full of magic and adventure!
If you were sick, would you really want to go to see a doctor? Who else could you turn to, the wise woman, the church, a witch? If you did get treatments, would they work, and… would they hurt? In a world controlled by God and magic, discover the weird and wonderful ways our ancestors tried to cure our ills!

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.
