Carew Castle's Weekend of Weaponry and Warfare returns with living history spectacle

An action-packed weekend of living history, weaponry and warfare awaits visitors to Carew Castle this bank holiday, as Historia Normannis living history group transports one of Pembrokeshire’s most popular visitor attractions back to the 12th century.

The three-day spectacle, which is free with normal Castle entry, will feature a medieval encampment showcasing traditional skills, along with astounding combat and weaponry displays.

Other highlights will include a medieval Fashion Show at 12 noon each day, along with a Shire Court session at 2pm, which will highlight the strict and often harsh enforcement of medieval laws.

Manager of Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, Daisy Hughes, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Historia Normannis back to Carew this coming bank holiday. The Weekend of Weaponry and Warfare promises an unforgettable history lesson on the living conditions of a 12th century army on the march.

“In what promises to be an exhilarating three days, visitors will also have the chance to handle replica artefacts and hone their own warrior skills with Have-a-Go Archery. Please note that a small charge will apply for some of the activities.”

Carew’s Weekend of Weaponry and Warfare will take place on Saturday 24 August to Monday 26 August, between 10am and 4pm each day.
