SUITABLE FORFamilies
Join us at Kenilworth Castle this bank holiday as we travel back to 1214. As England simmers under the rule of King John, Nicola de la Hay, royal sheriff, comes to inspect Kenilworth Castle and ensure the loyalty of the garrison.
Watch the unfolding drama and witness the harsh reality of medieval life and death in the 13th century.
Throughout the day explore the bustling camp where you can meet tradespeople, the knights on campaign, and the families supporting them. See traditional crafts in action including the blacksmith, woodworkers, and weavers.
Take your chance to seek advice from the herbalist for all your ailments or visit the cook’s tent to see what it took to feed an army! Then listen to the sounds of the past with our medieval musicians Caliban’s Dream.
Plus, little ones will love the castle jester, on hand to bring some laughter to the day!
