Medieval Mayhem at Sheffield Manor Lodge
Sunday 4 May & Monday 5 May
Join us this May Bank Holiday for a weekend of medieval fun as the Ferrers take you back in time to the Wars of the Roses!
Meet the Ferrers!
The Ferrers are a fifteenth century reenactment society portraying the knights, squires and highly skilled craftspeople under the command of Sir Walter Devereux – a loyal supporter of Richard of York.
Choose Your Champion!
