The
lord of Camlann invites you to attend his summer village festivals,
all with theatre, knightly combat, music, crafts, archery, swordplay, 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.

PAYNES
MAGYKES
Wondrous sleight of hand
by Master Payne, who has been a feature a the Camlann Faire since
1982. Payne treats his audience to a highly interactive and engaging
medieval experience. 'Solid gold rings' link and unlink at his
command. Handkerchiefs change colors, and a hapless spectator may or
may not survive the dreaded Ram's Bladder Trick!
