Title: 17th Century Life and Times Land Pirates at Tutbury Castle Post by: Zarniwoop on 05 August 2011, 02:50:17 Start Date: 28/08/2011
End Date: 29/08/2011 Time: 11am – 5pm (Last admission at 4pm) There are highway men at the Castle! Gangs of infamous ‘good fellows’ have gathered to brag of their exploits, drink their fill of ale and spend their ill-gotton gains. All sorts of ne’er-do-wells have come to profit from this rendezvous: strumpets, fences, pickpockets, cutpurses and players of dice and cards – so many folk that a market has sprung up.But can such a large gathering be kept secret from the local justices? If not there could be trouble ahead. This fantastic day of re-enactments and living history displays will provide fun for all the family. The Great Hall will also be open with guided tours as well as our pretty tea room serving a range of hot and cold food – all reasonably priced.
