Winterbourne Medieval Barn

AS the weather warms up, the Barn opens for the bulk of its community events for the year.

First up is our Medieval Fayre, which takes place on Sunday June 11, from 11am-4pm.

In 1393 Blanche de Bradeston was granted the right to hold a fair adjacent to Winterbourne church each June and October and our fayre is held in recognition of this.

Living history group The Company of Chivalry will re-enact daily life during the 1300s when the Barn was built.

Come and wander around the authentic tents and fire pit, chat to the enactors, ask questions, and watch them go about daily tasks as they would have done them 700 years ago.

There will be a full programme of activities throughout the day, including talks and demonstrations about many different aspects of medieval life, plus live music, a wide range of artisan craft stalls, activities for children including hands-on craft and dressing-up, and plenty of excellent food and
