| 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. The company of Hospitallers consists of myself and 5 regular crew, although I do the majority of events on my own. There will be, on occasion, skill at arms demonstrations. All of these are performed by suitably trained people. These demonstrations will be in a double roped arena. 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. |
