SUITABLE FOR

Families

Step into the 11th century at Richmond Castle on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July and experience the sights and sounds of Norman life.

  • Explore the armoury – try on a hauberk or feel the weight of a sword
  • Chat with cooks and taste dishes that once graced a garrison table
  • Learn about Norman fashions and daily life
  • Watch the soldiers train hard to keep their fighting skills sharp (and hopefully avoid the surgeon!)

Bring the whole family for an unforgettable weekend of history brought to life.
