The Swords of Chivalry
entertain at all manner of commercial events from village
fetes to country fairs and Charity Fund
raisers,
Talks tailor made for each
age group, we display our weapons, and allow the children access
to medieval clothing and goods used in that era. By bringing history
alive for the youngsters,and capturing their imagination, we recreate
tournamet life at the end of the 14th Century with
costume and armour from across Europe. Showing how slowly the fashions
changed, from the Scottish borders to northen Italy.
During all events, the audience is welcome to ask questions and
(under strict supervision) to look at and touch the armour
and weapons. Cheering the good knights and booing the baddies
is great fun, with audience participation essential. Children and
adults alike are actively encouraged to voice their enthusiasm for
their favourites.
The many testimonials we
have received since we started in 1993, bear witness to our love
for the historical period we recreate and to the care and attention
we bring to our re enactments and entertainments.
Distance is not normally
a problem as we are happy to camp overnight, provided we can have
access to the usual facilities. We have found that the medieval
encampment is a huge incentive to draw in the crowds.
We are Hertfordshire based
group but we have members living in Essex, Herts, Cambs and Suffolk.
Individually and collectively
the Swords of Chivalry are vastly experienced, training regularly
to perfect their art so that we may safely and accurately perform
our Entertainments for your functions. We also have television and
film experience and are happy to take part in any kind of event.
