Traders and residents of Dalton-in-Furness come together to provide a Medieval Market on the late May Bank Holiday Monday, in the Ancient Capital of Furness.
Why not join them – there is sure to be something there to intrigue and delight you.
You may come across a jester amazing people with his skill and dexterity – or mystifying them with magical tricks, or a minstrel entertaining the crowd to earn an honest penny.
There may even be a dragon or two or other mysterious and ferocious creatures luring in odd corners.
Certainly there will be music, entertainment and demonstrations of ancient crafts - enough to please the most avid enthusiast – and so many different stalls even the most demanding shopper should be satisfied – they will find everything from beautiful cards to a crafted goblet, herbs or bags of sweets.
Of course there will be local hostelries with a range of real ales and beers and – if you want to try a real taste of the past – Together with cafes supplying coffee and cakes, take-a-ways, and bar meals there is something for everyone.
The market runs from 10am to 4pm and includes events such as Archery, the trial of vagabonds and thieves, medieval music and much, much more.
