History Through the Ages Reenactment
Sunday 1 September
Our reenactment is back as we bring to life history from across the centuries! Step back in time and experience how people lived in different ages, have a go at wielding weapons, get up close with birds of prey and see combat first-hand. All this set amongst our Tudor ruins with activities for children (and adults!) to have a go at.
