Friday 19th June to Sunday 21st June · Medieval Re-enactors

Location: Merchant's House

Cost: Included in the admission to the John Moore Museum

The Merchant’s House on Church Street will be brought to life by our Medieval re-enactors. Discover what it was like to work and live in the early 15th century. Our spice merchant, Annabelle Burton, has prepared her shop for your visit and is ready to answer all of your questions. What exotic spices and ingredients did they have? What trade routes did people travel across? How comfortable is the woollen fashion in the summer heat? She will even show you were the “sophisticated” en-suites toilets are!
