The lord of Camlann invites you to attend his Midsomer Festival, with new Summer Games, crowning the King & Queen of Summer, puppetry, magic, crafts, archery, and minstrelsy. Come to Somersetshire, ancient realm of Arthur the king, as our morning trumpet & proclamation open the village gates upon the colorful world of Chaucer's England in 1376. The pace is leisurely: everything does not happen at once. The scale is small, intimate: leave behind the hectic 21st century.
Highlights:
•Janet Harper singing and harping
•Puppetry and wondrous minstrelsy by Jacob Breedlove.
•Sheep petting for young & old. Mid-Summer Games for all ages.
•Visitors can join villagers in Dancing and Archery
•Minstrels play all the day with 14th century music, stories and dancing.
•Villagers interpret and demonstrate daily life and village activities.
Craft presentations at Camlann are chosen to feature the kind of hand-made goods that were produced in the middle ages. Preference is given to artisans who can demonstrate the use of medieval tools and techniques.
Here you may purchase unique gifts and useful items incorporating medieval art designs, and join in our village life - - you can wear or rent fine attire, and shoot the longbow.
Festival Food: For lunch, sit down at The Bors Head and order ale, wine or mead with a hot lunch (NOON - 3:00 pm); Enjoy, in good weather, our outdoor dining area. Call ahead to purchase tickets for a wondrous Mid-somer Feast that begins at 5:00 pm.
