Medieval May Day 24: Preparation.
You can probably tell, but we put a lot of work into preparing every show we attend. From creating the items we are bringing, to actually transporting them around the country, we invest a lot of time and energy into bringing Medieval life to you!

Medieval May Day 23: Improvement.
Whether it's honing our skills in combat displays, or working tirelessly to complete a last piece of kit to show off, we are constantly improving our skills for the good of our hobby.

Medeival May Day 22: Research.
Part of being a reenactor is putting time and research into the period we are portraying, it's essential that we do this so we can paint an accurate picture of what life was like back then.

21/05/2025

Medieval May Day 21: Luxury.
Things we take for granted today, like the colour purple in clothes, items made of precious stones, even everyday use of steel tools, were all considered luxurious in the 12th Century due to how considerably more difficult it was to obtain such items.

Medieval May Day 20: Small details.
Next time you are at an event, take a look at everything on display! As we're trying to recreate an average day in the 12th century, we try to include as many details as we can, big or small.

19/05/2025

Medieval May Day 19: Behind the scenes.
After the show is done, what do we do then? Normally we meet up twice a week for combat practice and craft, so we can keep our skills and kit at its best and create new displays to bring with us next time.

Medieval May, Day 18 - Unusual Craft:
There are so many crafts that were used in the medieval period that it's difficult to spotlight all of them. Things like glass-blowing, illuminating, scribing, and smithing are still done today, and we also feature these crafts in Historia Normannis wherever we can.

Medieval May, Day 17 - Leatherwork:
Leather was a versatile material in the 12th century which was used for everything from book bindings, to belts, to scabbards and more. It could be dyed various colours, and even decorated by tooling or riveting.

Medieval May, Day 16 - Embroidery:
A very popular way to decorate furnishings and clothes was to embroider onto them. In the 12th century, decorative borders like vinework could elevate a piece of clothing quite a lot, and who doesn't likes a nice cushion with a picture of an exotic animal on it?
