Royal Chessmen Present: Historic Village

Royal Chessmen Historic Village at Camelot Days

Step back in time at the Historic Village, presented by Royal Chessmen at the Camelot Days Medieval Festival. This immersive educational experience welcomes visitors of all ages to explore the life and culture of Medieval Europe through interactive displays, live demonstrations, and engaging educational talks that bring history to life.

Throughout the festival, you’ll discover rotating stations featuring hands-on activities and performances. These include manuscript illumination, where you can create and take home your own decorated initial; textile creation and workings where you see how intricate designs were achieved; medieval dining observations showing how people ate during that era; and Kubb, an ancient game of skill also known as Skulls and Bones. Station offerings vary by faire day and weekend, so there’s always something new to experience.
