History is set to come to life at Oxford’s most historic site this weekend, as Oxford Castle Quarter hosts a free-to-attend Medieval Fayre – packed full of exciting activities!
From the clash of blades in the exercise yard, fire juggling by resident jester, 'The Fool Monty', and Big Beynon's Blacksmithing’s live historical display, the grounds of Oxford Castle Quarter will be the setting for a myriad of events wrapped up in the history of the Middle Ages.
Visitors to the site will be given a musical welcome from medieval minstrels 'Sloe Gin', while enjoying the sights and smells of the Gallic Cauldren ‘Pario Gallico’ for lessons in how to cook - medieval style.
Youngsters will be enthralled by puppet shows from ‘Castle Small’, and tales from ‘Maggie the Gossip’, before trying their hand with a longbow and grabbing a sword for Knight School - and of course, no medieval day would be complete without a proper swordfight as skilled warriors battle it out within the Castle grounds!
