A hot day – and heavily-armoured troops march past

It’s a hot day. Troop after troop of heavily armoured soldiers march past carrying pikes, swords and the colours of their lords.

Comment Cassie Martin

You pass tents selling bespoke weaponry, mead, and every kind of medieval clothing. A lady swishes past in long skirts with what looks like a miniature dragon on her shoulder until you realise it’s a very cleverly designed puppet and you hear the sound of the PA system announcing that the re-enactment is about to begin.
