We joined our lovely friends Jade & Chris (I'm their Maid of Honour for their 2014 wedding which I've posted about previously), and enjoyed a Medieval day out in the sun!
The fayre consists of:
Re-enactment village - See people all dressed up, doing Medieval hobbies, and there's lots of talks and interactive elements
Shopping - Lots of tents selling reproduction swords, leather items, cloth, cosplay/dress-up outfits (adults and children), handmade jewellery, wooden toys etc.
Food - You can enjoy a wild game burger or a hog roast bap, as well as the usual ice cream van or sweet stall. And there is always the "jerky man" too.
Arena - Falconry, cannon/gun/archery displays......
But, the two main must-see elements are the Joust and the Battle! Do not miss these!
As well as the photos, I filmed lots of various elements from the day in the hope of making a mini-vlog or video.....watch this space!
The Berkeley Skirmish is a great family day out, so do check them out for 2014!
Their website is here and their Facebook page is here
