Be sure to come and join us this Halloween weekend! Come in costume and win a prize! (Something boozy for the adults...something sweet for the kids)
A unique hands-on historical and archaeological tour in English, researched and created by British archaeologist and historian David "Taff" Simon. Get to sample authentic medieval beers and handle original and reproduction artefacts. . This is not a ghost tour – all the events – every single bone-crunching last one of them – actually happened.
Join Hans von Spanker (or his good pal Taff) to discover the awful truth about:
The Black Death and other nasties
Jewish history, trade and the influence of the Guilds
Dress and how it reflected class and standing
Medieval architecture and defences
Infamous witch trials
Traditions + folklore
Ancient burial rites
Why was beer so important? Try an authentic medieval brew!
Get to handle original artefacts and (blunt) weapons
