17th century re-enactors will be at the Castle on Saturday 19th August from 10am to 5pm.
This is basically English Civil War living history, and will include pike drill, (and a kids' pike drill!), a musket display, cannon display, a wood bodger, spinning and crafts, calligraphy and arts, a 17thC kitchen, fashion show, and costumes to try, and more.
(the Castle lawn is a bit small for any combat, even a small skirmish!).
Tickets are £7.00 for adults, £4.00 for children, and £20.00 for a family ticket, and are available in advance from Hay Castle Trust or on the day.
I was once a pike person in a Royalist regiment (Gilbert de Houghton's in Lancaster), so I'm looking forward to this.
