Acle Early Medieval Society will be taking over the grounds of Kirkleatham Museum with a bustling living history encampment and displays of combat .

Within the immersive encampment costumed reenactors will be available to talk about and show heritage crafts from the Anglo-Saxon period, including spinning, weaving and textile production, embroidery and naal binding, as well as demonstrations of cooking, brewing and baking and bee keeping.  Visit our fur trader from far away shores and talk to our warriors who will be showing the weapons of the period and how they were used.  You can cheer on your favourite warrior as they pit their skills against each other.

Children and adults alike can have a go at striking their own coin or making a bracelet with a lucet.  There will be games to join in with and children’s swords and shields to play freely with during the day.

Some activities have a small charge.
