The
lord of Camlann invites you to attend his summer village festivals,
all with theatre, knightly combat, music, crafts, archery, minstrels, and
victuals.
Come to Somersetshire, ancient realm
of Arthur the king, as our morning
trumpet & charter proclamation open the village
gates upon the colorful world of Chaucer's England in 1376. The pace is leisurely: everything does not happen at once. The scale is small,
intimate: leave behind the hectic 21st century.

shoot the longbow, and try the games
of skill.
