Visitors to the Medieval Free Company will be able to wander around a small encampment savouring the flavour of what it would have really been like in the 15th century. Our tents, of various shapes and sizes, have all been made in the styles known to have been popular in the time. Our clothing and footwear have all been made in traditional style and, where possible, by traditional methods.

All food eaten within the encampment is prepared over an open fire from foodstuffs known to have been available, not only in the 15th century, but during the particular season as well. The smell of the cooking pot together with the various herbs and spices used will get the taste buds tingling (we are, unfortunately, not permitted to allow visitors to sample the food). Our cook will be pleased to explain the ingredients and methods used to create his culinary delights.
