Kids Medieval Fun Day

Yesterday was the kiddies chance to enjoy a medieval experience! A week full of medieval festivities are hosted by the Abbey Musuem in the lead up to the Abbey Medieval Festival - one of them being the Kids Medieval Fun Day a feast of medieval activites all day.  The kids literally poured through the gates at 9am and by 9.15am the Camel Ride line up was massive!

To my delight the Medival Pottery was the first workshop fully booked out!  My tent all ready to go... four sessions, in four hours, 20 participants in each session, the calm before the storm (just before the gates were to open) and the other tents in the distance spread far and wide.


Above, in the background coil pots line up and two young Fair Maidens busy building their pots, and below a young Squire boasts his masterpiece!  Certainly a 'fun day' was had by all. 


Now wind back the clocks - 600AD to 1600AD ...next on the agenda is the adult's turn for some medieval fun!  This coming weekend Sat 7th & 8th July, 2012 a bustling Abbeystowe comes alive for an authentic medieval experience!

    We both have new cameras so will be there on the weekend for some photo-opportunities. Hope you are looking particularly mediaeval.

      Hi Fiona, it was adorable the kids loved it! Post-festival, I'm sure the adults did too.
