Dress as a knight

Discovering Medieval can offer your visitors a chance to learn what it was really like to wear medieval armour. Could you move in it? Was it heavy? What did it feel like to be inside all that armour? We have replica armour to fit old and young alike, including armour made specially to fit children (made for us by Best Armour).

Often the closest most people will get to armour is behind a glass case in a museum. Even at a re-enactment event they may not be able to try the armour on. It's most peoples dream as a kid to try on real armour and hold a sword and with this display they can do just that. Imagine giving them the opportunity to actually wear armour!

They can feel the weight of the armour, what it was like to sit and bend in it. Feel the weight of a hauberk, hold a sword or learn how a knight would use a pole axe with deadly efficiency to kill an opponent.
