One of the group's most popular events, Skipton Castle was once again brought to life by Buckingham’s Retinue over the weekend of 27th-28th July. 

Each day began on the castle lawn with a display of archery, followed by a sword school for younger visitors. In the great hall, talks on medieval fashion and etiquette were held, while the kitchens were in full swing producing an array of delicious food from authentic medieval recipes.

The event concluded with our knights' procession from the castle to the tournament arena for a display of medieval combat. All this in addition to the living history and craft displays put on throughout the day by individual group members. 

Group members will be attending the battle of Bosworth reenactment event 17th-18th August. Our next full event will be Framlingham Castle, Suffolk, 24th-26th August.
