Until Sunday a medieval village, complete with a castle and towering turrets, will come to life in Central Square. There is entertainment, crafts and activities each day such as bread making, crown and shield making workshops, Merlin’s spell school, dressing up, stories of bravery and valour and much more. Knights of the Round Table battle with incredible sword skills, listen to traditional harps and folk music, and for those that have been naughty, it’s off to the village stocks.
