As a continuing step towards our goal of providing an in-depth living history experience,
Camlann events are peopled with portrayals of medieval
villagers and everyday village activities on village days and during our
Festivals.
Unlike
our festivals, the village life days are low key:
usually with between 6 and 12 volunteer
interpreters. Your visit is designed to promote
personal conversations with 14th century individuals, in
order to understand how our ancestors saw the world in
their time.

Village
Demonstrations
vary each day, and may include archery, blacksmithing, textile production,
animal care, artwork, gardening, hearth cooking, shoemaking, spinning, weaving, clothing design, and other household
skills. Presentations provide an in-depth focus on these
village activities with the opportunity to interact with knowledgeable villagers, who
portray medieval people,
discussing their work, their life in the 14th century, and
perhaps some village gossip. The
Gate Shop is open, and the Bors Hede serves hot
hearth-cooked meals Noon to 3:00 PM (reservations, please, for
groups of 7 or more). Come and visit our period-built cottage,
blacksmith forge & carpenter yard. For seasonal Festivals
and
Banquets see: our complete Calendar.

Villager
presentations at Camlann are chosen to feature the kind of hand-made goods that
were produced in the middle ages. Preference is given to artisans who can
demonstrate the use of medieval tools and techniques. Click below to see
