Live shows in the arena and stage. CAMRA supported Ale tent, old ox-drawn cart to be a stage. musicians, jugglers and acrobats are expected, however all stage and arena events will be WITHOUT the benefit of PA systems , electric lights and the like, because we want to have a real atmosphere as is possible. Evenings will be feasting , bonfire and merriment. Finale (not confirmed by Fire brigade as yet but is indicated as positive) will be the burning of the castle from flaming arrows. Ducking stool and stocks will be manufactured for heinous crimes such as using mobiles etc.
