Learn what life was like over the different centuries Brodie Castle has been standing in a thoroughly different way.
Medieval Realm, an experienced re-enactment group since 2005, will be running Living History displays spread over authentically styled tents, adding a touch of entertainment to the history!
The tents will have displays of weapons through the ages, medieval book binding, medieval games and ale-making to delve into and enjoy. You can chat to the costumed players to find out about their clothing or activities, and they will also have different demonstrations at times throughout the day with a chance for the children to join in!
