Britain's What's On Event Guide
Acle Saxons Re-enactment Camp Gisborough Priory
Heritage Open Day: Acle’s Saxon village demonstrates life just before the founding of Gisborough Priory. Activities include Combat, including ‘kid’s combat’, Cooking, Coin Striking, Weaving, Spinning and Carding, Beekeeping and Beeswax crafts, as well as many others! Before the founding of Gisborough Priory in 1119, Guisborough was a Saxon settlement, and Acle Early Medieval Re-enactment Society (Acle Saxons) are setting up a village in the Priory grounds to show what life was like at that time. Food for our hungry Anglo Saxons is authentically cooked on an open fire using authentic ingredients from the early Medieval period, giving you the chance to learn about the food that was enjoyed. Our villagers quenched their thirst with mead and ale.
