It's not always about the big shows for us - a few weeks ago we surprised care home resident, and former re-enactor, Cliff Nicholson with his very own mock battle... ⚔️🛡️

A mock battle was staged for Cliff Nicholson, 79.

A scorching weekend at the Tewkesbury Medieval Festival again!

How fine do we look? A number of members put a lot of effort into our new hand-made livery cotes as we once again formed the retinue of Sir John Courtenay, 14th Earl of Devon - acted by our good friend Edward Nash from Time Jump Histories.

Everyone looked out for one another - sharing the workload of the camp, prepping for battle and staying hydrated throughout the weekend. ⚔🛡
