We would like to say a special thank you to David Brereton who, over the last couple of years, has sold his entire collection of military models to raise funds for the museum.

Dave has attended events to sell his meticulously crafted models and donated large models for for raffle prizes. His efforts have raised over £700 for us!

We are sure Dave will find a use for all the space he must have freed up now he no longer has hundreds of models in storage. We cannot thank him enough for donating them, and we hope everyone who bought a model from Dave enjoys it.

Medieval Reenactment Event

Saturday 15th August, 10am until 4pm
Entry fee £5 adults £3 children, includes museum entry.

Join in the excitement of the melee as knights step forth into tournament under colourful banners, their Levies and Serjeants in attendance. Who will be the Victor?

Joining the heroic knights are the battlefield followers, the women and men who cook, tend to injured knights, keep weapons and clothing clean and ready for use. Learn about war and everyday life in the 13th century: the food and drink, customs and laws.

Joining Vanguard Medieval Reenactment are Comitatus Aquila, the medieval medics, who specialise in 12th and 13th century medicine. Come along and see the surgeons tools and hear about the medicines you would be offered to ward of evil spirits and the common cold!

As an antidote to battles and barbaric surgery, King Arthur and his trusty friend Merlin will be here to provide some light-hearted entertainment for all the family.

A great day!

Times of tournaments to be confirmed.
