Events in 2017

1st May  Penrith 

Penrith Lions have been running the May Day celebrations in the town for a number of years. They obtained extra funding this year and are therefore looking to put on a more exciting event. 
 
We set up a camp for the day and in the small arena in the church grounds, where we did in camp activities, Knight School and some fighting demonstrations. 

27th - 29th May          Skipton Castle                               Full Household Event

Again we journeyed back to the 15th Century during the Wars of the Roses.

There was fighting, archery, Blacksmithing, Whitesmithing, Goldsmithing, shoemaking, barber surgeon, sewing, weaving, embroidery and lots of food...

This is one of our signature full household, Red Wyverns organised events

24th - 25th June         Conwy Viking Medieval Festival and Tournament

Picture
This two-day Medieval event featured jousting displays, jesters, an archery tournament, living history encampments and a huge banquet.

Our men won a number of medals in the tounament fighting against Historic European Martial Artists from around the world (yes we are THAT good).

We also figured out how many knights fit in a phone box, but that's another story.



8th - 9th July               Tewkesbury Medieval Festival

Picture
Hosted by the Tewkesbury Medieval Festival, thousands of reenactors, entertainers and traders from all over Europe gathered in Tewkesbury for Europe's largest annual Medieval reenactment. A fantastic and unique day out for all the family, with free admission.

Red Wyverns will return next year.

The Westmorland family seat of the Clifford Household, Appleby castle is reknowned as one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Europe and indeed has the most complete Norman Keep in existence.

With plenty of grounds to spread out in, the household were joined by other medieval households to create a spectacular event

 26th - 28th August      Muncaster Castle                        Full Household Event

Picture
The awe inspiring backdrop of Muncaster castle provided the stage for our last event of the season.

Once again there was the clang of the blacksmith's hammer, the clash of swords and the smell of woodsmoke as we bro the sights, sounds and smells of the Cousins' War (War of the Roses) to Muncaster.
