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.”
