  • Arena shows: the Grand Joust and a Castle Siege, plus Viking warriors, archers and knights in combat displays
  • Living History encampments with dozens of re-enactors to meet
  • Medieval and Renaissance music played in the 14th-century Abbot's Kitchen
  • A medieval market of hand-crafted gifts, vintage jewellery, historical replicas and re-enactment garb
