Let the medieval revelry begin! ⚔️
Jersey's rich medieval history will be brought to life next week – May half term – with an exciting new family event at Mont Orgueil Castle.
Ogier is proud to support Jersey Heritage's Medieval Revels – ‘Lé Rêvillon du Mouoyen Âge’ in Jèrriais – which will include live battle shows, music and hands-on activities for all ages to enjoy. The four-day event at the 13th-century castle will be Monday to Thursday, 25-28 May, 10am-4pm daily.
💬 Nicola Lucas, Jersey Heritage’s Community Events Curator, said: “The clash of steel and the roar of battle as knights in armour storm the battlements of Mont Orgueil – who wouldn’t want to be at the Castle to experience that!
“Those who enter the Castle’s walls will be transported back to the 13th century to soak up a bustling medieval atmosphere. Our expert re-enactors, who have performed across Europe and the UK, will showcase the skills, tactics and spectacle of medieval combat. There will be a medieval physician, who will reveal the cures, remedies and superstitions of the time, and a medieval cook, who will share insights into historic food preparation and life in the castle kitchens. A medieval scribe will show Islanders the calligraphy of the time, and there will be plenty of other activity to keep families busy throughout their visit.”
💬 Kate Kirk, Ogier’s Marketing Director, said: “We are proud to continue working with Jersey Heritage this year to bring together the community and celebrate the Island’s rich history. ‘Medieval Revels’ at Mont Orgueil is an exciting new addition to the charity’s events programme and offers families and would-be knights and princesses of all ages an opportunity to share some unforgettable experiences over May half term. With a host of expert re-enactors on hand to entertain everyone, it promises to be a thrilling way to learn about medieval life inside an iconic medieval castle.”
