  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.
