The purpose of the company is to provide educational presentations about medieval and Tudor life. This will include such activities as wicker working, cooking, woodwork, religious life and the military. The majority of events see me as a Knight Hospitaller, some as a Jesuit priest, sometimes as a hurdle maker and sundry other minor characters.
We also cover most religious orders. Religion was an intergral part of medieval life. We approach the subject sensitively and professionally.
The company consists of myself and my wife, with the possability of a boost of 2 - 3 others. However, the majority of events are on my own or just with my wife.
There may be facsimile armour and weapons. Any public handling of these items is on a one-to-one supervision basis.
In addition to these live and static demonstrations we can also offer 'walkabout' characters, which can bring an extra element of atmosphere to any event as we wander around in costume interacting with the public and other professionals.
